Monmouth Festival 2012

@ Around Monmouth

Monmouth's fabulous free music festival, Monmouth Festival / Gŵyl Trefynwy is back - and this time we're celebrating our 30th year

Over the years the nine-day festival has become THE big event for Monmouth - and one of Europe's biggest and best free music festivals, attracting visitors from all over the world. It's a celebration of the town and its community, and a chance to see local and national musicians from rock, classical, pop, folk, jazz, ska, punk, world music and beyond. So come join us for the 9 day spectacle of music!

MONMOUTH CARNIVAL On the 19th August Monmouth Festival also coincides with the Monmouth Carnival, a day long community celebration throughout the town with the usual carnival activities (stalls, crafts, jugglers, face painting funfair etc) and other exciting events to be announced!

Parking is plentiful in the town centre - follow the permanent signposts and expect a short walk through the town. The atmosphere is superb - a huge community celebration - so grab a drink from one of the many pubs and enjoy a great welcome to historic, contemporary Monmouth!
