LLandrindod Wells Victorian Festival - 16th to 24th August 2008

Llandrindod Wells is proud to present the leading Victorian Festival in the UK today. Set in the beautiful heart of Wales, it is held in the last full week of August before the Bank Holiday. As Llandrindod was a thriving spa resort in the Victorian era it seems natural to base the Festival on the Victorian theme. The town's unspoilt architecture provides a perfect backdrop to the celebrations, and on Temple Gardens and Middleton Street we have ideal venues for the many different types of street entertainment provided free throughout the day.

The Heart of Wales Farmers Community Market

Location: Middleton Street in the Middle of the Town.
Time: 9 am - 2 pm on the last Thursday of the Month.
Operates throughout the year


Why and how benefit Llandrindod Wells and surrounding area?
Foot and Mouth demonstrated the need for shorter supply lines and for the rural community to support itself.
The economic benefits are clear, with some 450 Farmers Markets in the UK, producing £55 million per year. That money goes back into the rural economy in all sorts of ways: farmers buy chiller cabinets, vans, bags, scales, signs, baking equipment, apple presses and so forth. They also hire people and give business to butchers and abattoirs. It filters back into the whole rural community.

Llandrindod benefits by the creation of what is essentially an extra attraction. A regular 1000 extra visitors that this Market attracts boost the Town’s economy.
