We’ll be there (and I may be asking you some questions!)

This is a great event to add to your diary on Saturday 2nd of May 2026!

The Wye Valley River Festival returns with Monmouth Mischief, a FREE family-friendly, accessible event. It'll be a visual treat with sounds and surprises as artists, locals and community groups come together.

It'll start with a colourful parade down through Monmouth town, ending at Drybridge Park for a full day of entertainment, shows, workshops, song, music, exhibitions, delicious food (and hopefully some sunshine too!).

They are working to make the festival accessible and open to all, for full accessibility information please visit the festival website where they have detailed information to plan your day. Wye Valley River Festival
