a modern village steeped in history
We know we have a talented village and nothing shows it off better than the annual village show on the 16th this year.
2018 promises to be a particularly fun one with rumours of a vintage tractor display which should keep young and old entertained.
For a full show programme you can go to the Llansadwrn show website where you can also see last years winners.
There are many thousands of community gardens throughout the world including several in Wales.
Some are natural areas, wild flower meadows, or art gardens, whilst others are used to grow vegetables, or fruit trees.
Community Gardens have been shown to have positive health benefits for the people involved. They contribute to a sense of community, and neighbourhood improvement.
Llansadwrn Community Council have agreed that a community garden be established on the Community Field between Maesporth and The Old Vicarage, (coloured red on the plan)

Tilla decorating pourers
A host of local workshops are available to join over the next few weeks. Not only can you have a go at bead making or life drawing in workshops (and everything in between) you can also observe artists in their native habitat.
Included in the list are our very local artists James and Tilla Waters who make stunning ceramic art for sale around the country. Within the website you will see a variety of trails you can follow to see different artists at their home studios. You can see a full list of local activities in the guide.
There are four studios south of Llangadog – Jacob Buckland, painter, Claire Spencer, printmaker, Clare Misselbrook, eco-artist & Carole Spackman, potter…there are yet more north of Llangadog. Follow yellow direction signs to find them all.
Yet another phenomenal big lunch was organised by the village of Llansadwrn, overlooking the stunning Brecon Beacons National Park the Maes rang with shreaks of children laughing and the chatting many old friends meeting up and enjoying local talent, food and drinks together.
This lovely community seems able to host whole range of talents, from the singing of the Llansadwrn singers, the hearty tug-of-war teams (stop that “helping” Hugh and Elgan), the amazing cooking skills of everyone in the village, as well as the artistic abilities of the people who decorated the marquee.
The Big Lunch focuses on bringing communities together to share time and food and Llansadwrn certainly embraced that notion.
Last year everyone mucked in to help put up the marquee, decorate the inside, make food and join in the general frivolities.
This year will follow a similar theme. Everyone is invited to bring along a dish, last year saw a phenomenal range of delicious food! A challenge to any name your popular cook program and showing the very creative side of the village.
This year excitingly in the evening when the marquee there will be a film showing. Film yet to be announced. The great new Sinema Sadwrn normally held in the reading room, well this year be making an appearance at the big lunch.
So come along and help, everyone can get involved with setting up providing food and decorating. There will be music, good food, good company and entertainment all round.
