FOOD lovers across Wales and England are being urged to use public transport to get to one of Britain’s top food festivals.
Abergavenny Food Festival takes place on 20 and 21 September.
The Festival plays host some of the brightest lights of the food world with 180 exhibitors and programme of chef demos, talks, and family entertainment.
To support the event, Transport for Wales is offering a regular free shuttle bus from the town’s Railway Station direct to the festival on both the Saturday and Sunday.
Abergavenny has regular direct trains from Cardiff, Newport, Cwmbran, Pontypool, Hereford, Ludlow, Leominster, Shrewsbury and beyond.
Helen Witherspoon, Head of Operational Planning at TfW said: “We’re really looking forward to welcoming customers for Abergavenny Food Festival on our services.
“As part of our planning we’ve been able to provide a free shuttle bus between the station and the festival to make using public transport an even more attractive option for customers.
“Events like this are so important to the communities we serve and we are continually challenging ourselves to provide the best possible service for our customers.”
Abergavenny Food Festival Director Lucie Parkin said:
“We want to encourage people to travel sustainably and use public transport.”
“Frequent two-way shuttle buses between the railway station and the town centre bus station will be a huge plus for visitors shopping at the Festival’s market venues.”
