Join us at Abergavenny and Chepstow for two community events for Age-friendly Monmouthshire. Drop in to meet local organisations, discover support and activities, and find out what’s available near you.
Monmouthshire residents are invited to two friendly wellbeing marketplaces showcasing a wide range of local services, activities and practical support. The events are especially aimed at people aged 50+, but everyone is welcome.
These events form part of Monmouthshire’s ongoing commitment to being an Age-Friendly community, following the county’s inclusion in the World Health Organization’s Global Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities (July 2025).
