ABERGAVENNY is set to be transformed this weekend as residents and visitors alike enjoy an immersive foodie weekend. Meet growers, producers, exhibitors, caterers, educators, writers, campaigners, chefs and cooks. And - if you are a visitor rather than local - take the chance to pay a first visit to the numerous independent shops and cafés for which the market town of Abergavenny is renowned.
