Saturday (June 18th) sees the second Pear and Perry Festival run by The Village Alive Trust at Great Trerhew Farm, Llanvetherine, near Abergavenny by kind permission of the Beavan family.

The event, run in conjunction with Monmouthshire Pear and Perry Society, will provide chances to taste and buy local perry, cider and apple juice. Also on sale will be regionally produced food including cheese, preserves and ice cream and locally grown plants. The farm will be signposted off the B4521 Abergavenny to Skenfrith road.

Entertainment includes maypole dancing by children from Cross Ash Primary School, childrens craft and childrens cookery sessions as well as talks on perry and cider. Homemade teas will be provided by Llangattock Lingoed Church members and Beavans Family Butchers, of Abergavenny, will run a barbecue.

The event is part of the calendar of Open Days run by The Village Alive Trust which has conserved several listed farm buildings, including the medieval threshing barn at Great Trerhew Farm which will house the food and drink stalls at the festival.

Admission will be 3.50 for adults and 1 for children over five years of age. The festival will run from 11.30am until 4.30pm.
