See the good life at the Smallholder and Garden Festival

That dream of an idyllic place in the country with a few chickens and pigs, a couple of beehives, perhaps some sheep and goats or even a llama or two, could become a reality for you following a visit to this year’s event.

There is no place like the Festival for encouraging those with a passion for ‘The Good Life’ to take the crucial step.  The event is geared for the smallholder and the gardener and everything you want to know about how to make a start on a small country living can be found there, including experts to answer all your questions.  There is even a property road show where you can find just the place to buy or rent to become a smallholder.



It is expected to attract over 25,000 visitors and preparations are already well under way.  Several new features will appear this time among them an exciting scurry driving competition and a blacksmithing and farriery competition, part of a programme of demonstrations organised by the Welsh Farriers and Blacksmiths Association.


A new Spring Poultry Show is also being introduced at the Festival in partnership with the Poultry Club of Wales. The Director, Dr Fred Slater, predicts that this will be the best Festival since the event was introduced at Llanelwedd.  “It will be entertaining and educational and a breath of country air for visitors,” he said.
