ABERGAVENNY FOOD FESTIVAL
Food lovers rejoice, because this September sees the return of the Abergavenny Food Festival where there is something for everyone.
For the foodies: There will be over 200 food and drink producers ready and waiting to tantalise the tastebuds, nose and waistline. The Robert Price kitchen stage will feature live cookery demonstrations from top notch chefs such as Jim Hamilton, Wesley Hammond, Penny Lewis, Matthew Dawkins and more. For the kids: CBBC’s Stefan Gate’s will be sharing some mind blowing food science as well as introducing your little ones to a range of edible insects. There will also be a host of interactive children’s workshops at the Food Academy so little foodies can get their hands on in the kitchen and make dishes such as spicy pumpkin pie. For the nature lovers: There will be plenty of opportunity to learn about the wild harvest of field and hedgerows with Shelia Spence, Henry Ashby, Fiona Ford and author Adele Nozedar. Shelia will take you on a journey of fungi and share her experience in wild food. Fiona will guide you on a one-and-a-half-mile guided walk around Castle Meadows to teach you about the plants that granny collected to make food, drink and medicines for her store cupboard. Henry will give you a chance to explore the wild estuary foods off the Severn such as sea spinach, samphire, sea blights and scurvy grass. Whilst Adele will take you on a journey to Clydach Gorge where you will take a step back in time to look at the wild plants that would have been in everyday use over 100 years ago. For the BBQ lovers: Grillstock, the UK’s biggest grilling festival, will rock up to Abergavenny where you can indulge in dishes such as hickorysmoked ribs or pulled pork whilst listening to live acoustic blues, guitars, harmonicas and genuine Brooklyn d ?fR?&"?W6?2?*?B?bF?W&^( ?2&???f?"??&Rf??B?F?Rf?V?FW"?b6&F?fn( ?2W'?R?F?????BvV?&vR?v???&R??7F??r??W&W7FW&?BF?Bv???'&??r??27G??R?b??WfV??R??F??7V?6??RF?F?R?V'B?b&W&vfV????6B#6WBb7V?#"6WB???f???s2?ScC2?wwr?&W&vfV???f??FfW7F?f??6???6WFV?&W"?&?2F?RV?B?b7V??W"?BF?R7F'B?bWGV???v?f??r?B6??WF???r?b7?BW'6???G??*v?B??R6???6RF?VB??FWV?B????W"?v?fVV??w2F?v&G2F?W6R6V6??2?F?W&R&R?V?G??bF??F?W2?B?V?2&?V?BF?6?WF?W??B??f?"F?RWGV?????F?2'WB?WfV??bF?R7V??27F???6?????r?F?W&R?2??V?F?&R????F?RWfV???r?"?B&&&WVW2v???&Vv??F?v?fRv?F?&?7G2?*F?R?FW&?FR??&WGvVV?&???B7V?'&??w2f?'F?f?W6?W2?bgV?v????V??WG2?B?VFvW&?rg'V?G2?4U%dU2Et???u$TD?T?E2Sr??VBv??B?W6?&???2?v??B??FgV??b&?7B??V??WG2?"6??VB&??2?6????G2?v&?26??fR?#??&7&W''?f??Vv"?F'76??VBF'&v???7'W7G?6?&GF?6??VB?B&?VB?6?B?WW"?W?G&f?&v????fR????&'?7??6??&?6?WB?vFW&7&W72$U$D???(
