Llandovery Sheep Festival will be back bigger and better next September after the success of this year's event.

Rachel Everett, chairman of the festival, thanked everyone who made this year’s event a terrific success.

The Llandovery Sheep Festival has gone from strength to strength since its inception in 2010, she said.

"It is an event that’s been wholeheartedly embraced by the people of Llandovery and its success is very much a reflection of that. Events such as this are important to the agricultural community, not only in terms of bringing people together, but also in terms of showcasing the best of local produce, goods and services."

Planning has already begun for the 2024 event and the organising committee are very excited with plans to include getting the younger people of the area more involved in the run-up to the event; fun fundraising events in the coming months and the possibility of a sheep themed horticulture competition.

Rachel added, “The concept behind this community led festival is to showcase the best of Llandovery, to share its cultural identity and historical past through the promotion of the wool industry and the local farming economy.”

Keep an eye on Llandovery Sheep Festival’s Facebook page for information on fundraising events happening over the coming months.
