About Abbfest 2025

Abbfest is a volunteer run, charity festival that raises money for local charities and organisations. Over the 16 years Abbfest has been running over £250,000 has been raised. We are entirely run by volunteers. Without our volunteers, sponsors and most importantly, attendees this wouldn’t have been possible, a big Thank You to all who help put the festival together and support us.

Abbfest’s main aim is to raise funds for our community and local charities by staging a Festival, or other activity as determined by the Trustees, and by doing so promote local drink, food, craft and entertainment. Every year Abbfest hosts a wonderful weekend full of live music, locally produced beer & cider, chef demonstrations and a food & craft market full of local artisan producers.

Returning to the fields beside Fermoy’s Garden Centre from the 18th to 21st of September 2025, join us for live music, cookery demonstrations, workshops, activities and our incredible range of local food, drink and crafts! Over 150 local ales and 30 ciders complete the shape of Abbfest 2025, for the full line up of music, stalls and things to do head to www.abbfest.org.
