IN 2008 Abergavenny Food Festival clocked up its tenth year and marked the occasion with plenty of festivities.
By then the festival had been spotted as the rising star in British artisan food. Events were held in the build up to the festival, including a parade of school children from Abergavenny, dressed as chefs and carrying giant food items.
Abergavenny Food Festival has since become a must-see event for Welsh cuisine fans, attracting over 35,000 people in 2019. Here are some archive pictures of the 2008 chef's parade.
