Alpacas, crafts and a dog show at Montgomeryshire summer fayre

A popular summer fayre set in the stunning grounds of a historic Montgomeryshire hall has been hailed a huge success, drawing crowds of all ages.

The annual summer fayre held at Bryngwyn Hall, the home of The Marchioness of Linlithgow near Llanfyllin, was held in the large garden and grounds recently.

There was something for every age group to take part in and enjoy.

There was the best of Welsh food and drink, Derwen Garden Centre’s outstanding trees and shrubs, and delicious food and drink to buy.

Stands included jewellry, art, craft and beauty products and for the first time there were some wonderful alpacas grazing happily on the lawns to intrigue both children and grown-ups.

There were sporting stands to promote fishing and shooting and the dog show was fun for all. A new event the dog scurry, by the edge of the beautiful lake, was enjoyed and dog owners were so happy to have expert advice in handling their dogs in water and on land.

The Pop up ladies raised over £1,000 for Llanfyllin Fire Brigade and Montgomeryshire against pylons (MAP) were informing local people of the progress against the march of huge electricity pylons across the countryside.

Lingen Davies, the local valuable cancer support charity was there to assure local people of the support they give to families who are suffering with cancer.

The summer fair will be held again next year on Saturday, June 5 and Sunday June 7, so save the date in your diary.
