(1)

🎉Abbfest Is Back❗️ incredible bands, delicious food, and refreshing drinks, all in support of local charities.

⭐Join Us On The 18th - 20th Of September 2026⭐ 🎸🎤

📍Location : Fermoy's Garden Centre, Totnes Road,Newton Abbot, Devon, TQ12 5TN It will be packed full of beer, cider, gin, food and craft stalls, chef demonstrations, live music, classic car show, tug of war competition and much more! Keep an eye on the website for info and updates: www.Abbfest.org

The event is held in the field next to Fermoys Garden Centre, Totnes Road, Newton Abbot, TQ12 5TN. It is a registered charity which uses the surplus from each festival to make grants to local charities and organisations. Everyone who comes to Abbfest contributes to our charitable efforts through the money they spend. Since Abbfest started in 2004 over £250,000 has been distributed in grants, and in 2019 alone we raised £18,000 thanks to the efforts of our supporters, helpers and visitors. The organisations we fund include local sports and community groups, clubs and societies as well as charities providing support for cancer sufferers, hospices, animal welfare and emergency services. We aim each year to have every beer currently being brewed in Devon which means over 150 different brews to choose from as well as plenty of Devon cider, gins, wines and even a Pimm’s bar. Keep 16 to 18 September 2022 free in your diaries. Tickets now on sale, including an ‘Early Bird’ discount if you are quick!
