Food World Stars Announced for Abergavenny Food Festival

The 2025 ABERGAVENNY FOOD FESTIVAL takes place over the weekend of 20th and 21st September and as usual the event has attracted some big names from the world of food and drink.

The full guest performer line-up will be confirmed in soon, but organisers have now revealed three food & drink world bright lights who will be part of the programme: OLLY SMITH – TV presenter and Saturday Kitchen (BBC1) wine guru, FELICITY CLOAKE – award-winning food writer, and JANE RAKISON – wine expert, broadcaster, and recipient of the International Wine and Spirit Competition ‘Communicator of the Year Award’. Felicity Cloake’s new book ‘Peach Street to Lobster Lane: Coast to coast in search of real American cuisine’ is out on 5 June (publisher Harper Collins) and she’ll be signing copies at the Festival.

Six-venue Stroller Tickets and tickets for Party at The Castle and Night Market (both happening on the Saturday evening) can now be bought online at HERE

A Stroller Ticket gives access to six market venues, 200 exhibitors and caterers, guest chef dems, cooking over fire sessions, talks/debates, and children’s activities in the castle grounds. Free entry for under 13s if with an adult.
