ANOTHER SPECTACULAR ABERGAVENNY FOOD FESTIVAL

20^th September 2010

Speaking after this weekend’s Abergavenny Food Festival, William Graham AM said:  

‘Every year the Abergavenny Food Festival becomes more spectacular. The good weather and quality of local produce mean that the town’s streets were packed – it comes as no surprise that this year’s attendance was a record breaking 40,000 people.’ 

The Conservative AM for South Wales East added: 

‘I met visitors and food industry professionals from across the country and abroad who share the opinion that South Wales East is now one of the premier locations for fine produce and dining in the UK. ‘ 

‘People and businesses from Abergavenny and the wider Monmouthshire area can be proud of the display their area hosted. The fact that year on year visitor figures have increased again is indicative that this remains a growing industry and it is important that Welsh Assembly Government policies seek to encourage and support entrepreneurship in the sector.’
