Sun shines on Plas Newydd fete

Rain clouds blew away and the sun came out just in time to make the annual summer fete staged by Llangollen Rotary and Inner Wheel Clubs in the grounds of Plas Newydd a big success yesterday (Saturday) afternoon.

It was an event for all the family and attractions included a Punch and Judy and Magic Show and a children’s roundabout.

There were plenty of stalls offering plants, cakes, toys and bric-a-brac and prizes could be won on the sideshows and in the grand raffle draw.

One of the highlights of the afternoon was a special ceremony when  King Ben from Ysgol Bryn Collen and Queen Angharad from Ysgol Y Gwernant were crowned by the Mayoress, Mrs Lube.

Following the crowning all children in fancy dress were invited to form a parade led by Chem, Llangollen’s town crier.

All proceeds of the fete are to be shared between Macmillan Cancer Care, Wales Air Ambulance and local charities.
