ABERGAVENNY buzzed to the sights and sounds of the town's popular food festival as visitors flocked to the second day of the event.

Sunday, September 19 saw another busy start to the annual Abergavenny Food Festival with large crowds packing the streets of the town centre as food and drink exhibitors from across the region brought their baking, brewing and simmering range of goods and treats for locals and visitors across the weekend.

Despite the weather taking a turn from the sunshine on Saturday, that didn't dampen the spirits of the enthusiastic visitors who still moved from stall to stall - and the Market Hall was a great place to take some refuge from the rain. 

There were also people lining up to purchase some last minute tickets that were still available - Saturday had completely sold out online.
