FOOD, drink and music festival, Abbfest, gets underway this week.

Located next to Fermoy’s Garden Centre, the volunteer run, charity festival returns on Thursday, September 18, kicking off with a Comedy Night.

The four-day festival concludes on Sunday, September 21.

Free shuttle buses will be running throughout the duration of the festival.

There will be more than 150 locally produced beers and ciders on offer, as well as wine, gin, prosecco and myriad soft drinks.

The festival features a mixture of local bands and choirs.

Abbfest celebrated 20 years in 2024.

It originally formed to raise money for repairs to the parish church and was held at Abbotskerswell Cricket Club.
