This years Caldicot Festival will take place on Sunday 30th and Monday 31st August starting at 11.00am. The event will be held at the Caldicot Castle Country Park, with lots of "Free" enjoyment and entertainment, which we believe to be one of the best free event held in Wales.

Visitors will also be entertained by Chepstow & District Vintage Club Rally, which includes working farm machinery demonstrations, a show of tractors, steam engines, vintage vehicles and stationary engines.

Gwent MG Owners Club, The Gwent MGOC was founded in August 2005. Members meet on the third Thursday of the month at The Fugitives Club on High Cross Road, Rogerstone and have regular Road Runs or visits to a Classic Car Show throughout the year. website link: www.gwentmgoc.org.uk
