Glasses provided.
Setting
The very first feast took place in 1999 with rows of trestle tables set out in our beautiful Victorian Market Hall. It will be a similar set-up this year, with the addition of table-top artists’ decorations commissioned by Peak Cymru providing the finishing touch. Our own fabulous annual Festival installation (theme: kitchen gardens) created by Bettina Reeves and team will be hanging from the rafters.
Celebrate
Kim Waters, AFF Chief Exec says, ‘Join us and celebrate everything that we have in the Abergavenny area: a close sense of community, our great food and hospitality story and yes the Festival too, which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary. The Feast is also an opportunity to say thank you to the many local people – individuals and organisations – who have helped the Festival grow, including Abergavenny Town Council and Monmouthshire County Council (not least the team who manage the Market Hall).’
