Mentro Lluest Christmas Fair

Mentro Lluest held a Christmas Fair on Saturday December the 8th to raise funds and raise the charity's profile within the community.

Despite the forecast the rain held off for most of the day and more people visited than we had expected. There was plenty so see and do, from wreath-making and face-painting to a visit from Santa and numerous craft stalls from local craft-makers.


Rain holds off for Mentro Lluest Open Day

Mentro Lluest held its annual Open Day on Saturday 12th May. Despite torrential rain in the week leading up to the 12th, on the day we were very lucky with only a few light showers.
Bedding plants, hanging baskets, organic vegetable plants, hanging baskets, carniverous plants and containers all sold like hot-cakes.
Students were present to answer peoples questions and take part in practical displays like container planting.
A photographer from the BBC was on hand and has created a wonderful slideshow of the day which can be seen at the BBC's mid Wales site.
