1. Aren’t food festivals fantastic? Still time to squeeze in one more at the Abergavenny Food Festival on Saturday 15th September featuring some of the UK’s most progressive chefs, food producers, farmers, cooks and campaigners. There is a Saturday Street Food and Night Market for a bit of evening fun. The line up includes chef demos on the Market Hall stage which means accessible to all with a wristband.
2. And one for field sport enthusiasts, as the Midland Game and Country Fair rolls in to Weston Park on Saturday 15th September. The organisers, Countryman Fairs, bring you everything related to shooting but there is still more for those who want to explore other country activities including: the BASC National Clay Shooting Competition, the Chudleys Gundog & Junior Gundog Championships, the European Field Target Championship and the Terrier & Lurcher Champion of Champions.
