Located right in the heart of the town, both figuratively and literally, Abergavenny market has long been the focus of trade through the town.
Take a stroll through the market on a Tuesday, Friday or Saturday, and you'll find tradesmen selling all kinds of goods, from local produce to finally crafted works of art. You'll also find a large number of townsfolk hunting for a bargain!
The cattle market provides an experience not to be missed - the sights, sounds (and smells!) of the livestock being traded have changed little over centuries.
Sadly, the days of the cattle market within the town centre are numbered. A new cattle market is planned for a site near Raglan which promises modern facilities with better provision for animal welfare.
Brewery Yard
Up until recently, the area behind the town hall known as Brewery Yard has been used as a car park throughout the week, and taken over by market stalls at other times. It is now in the process of being redeveloped into "a vibrant events space", with terraces, seating areas and a piazza. The work is due to be completed by March 2010.
