The annual St David’s Day Coffee Morning, held at the Llanwrtyd Heritage and Arts Centre, proved to be a resounding success, bringing together locals to celebrate the patron saint of Wales in style.

The event, which took place on a beautiful, sunny spring morning, was well attended by the community, making it a truly special occasion.

Susan Price kicked off the morning by warmly welcoming all attendees and expressing her gratitude for their continued support of the Heritage Centre. The event was a vibrant showcase of local talent, with Mrs Heather Davis, Mrs.Enfys Davies, and a group of local children taking centre stage. They delighted the audience with bilingual readings and performances of beloved Welsh songs, which were warmly received by everyone present.
