At the end of May this festival draws the most amazing names from the literary world
from all corners of the globe. In the last few years it has attracted speakers as
diverse as Tom Wolfe, Bill Clinton and Paul McCartney.
In August this performance festival commands attention from around the country with
its diversity and top name performers which have included Richard Thompson, Van Morrison,
Steven Berkoff, and Courtney Pine amongst others.
The Monmouth Agricultural Show is the largest one-day show of its kind in the country,
and takes place in August.
If food is your thing then the Abergavenny Food Festival at the end of September
is for you (picture right). Always a weekend of fascinating culinary discussion with
guest speakers, plus the opportunity to visit and taste some of the delights, prepared
by renowned chefs (including our own!), with fresh local produce. An end-of-summer
treat.
Followed by, in October, and great for those who missed the Hay Festival, is the
Cheltenham Festival of Literature, with an equally varied mix of top authors and
topics. Cheltenham often hosts jazz, blues and world music during the festival and
you'll find a visit very rewarding.
