Town's summer fete is tomorrow with lots of new features

The Llangollen Summer Fete team helped by volunteers have been setting up for tomorrow, Saturday's big event at Plas Newydd, which is open from 12noon-5pm.

In addition to some new ways of involving youngsters this year they are also introducing a Wellbeing Area.

This aims to provide advice, guidance and services to help people with their  physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.

Among contributors are Cambrian Hearing. who will provide free ear checks, Nature for Health with peg loom weaving and the Denbighshire team crafting slate coasters.

Also involved is Llangollen Food Share and Mike Gleed will be leading a tai chi session at 3.45pm.

The wellbeing area line up is:

During the day local theatre groups will provide a full entertainment schedule including performances from Llangollen Panto Group and Llangollen Operatic Society.

Local businesses have again been generous and as a result there's a long list of prizes for the raffle. Winners will be drawn and announced at the end of the fete. All money raised will go to  local and community causes as well as the funding of future fetes.

New junior members of the fete committee have ensured there are things for teenagers to do, including a football stall, nature crafts and kindling making. 

For the younger children, new this year is a treasure hunt to find all the entries for the children's flyer competition around the site. 

There will also be children's rides as well as a circus workshop by Circo Art that people of all ages can join in throughout the afternoon.

Entertainments:

The fete committee says it has listened and added a wider variety of food and drinks, from GeeGee's bar, The Parks Pims Stall and wine from Pip Gayle.

Stalls will offer goods ranging from jewellery to handcrafted goods and from teddy bears to tombola plus stalls with willow weaving, card printing and nature crafts. 

The committee say they have been watching the weather closely and believe it looks like it will be possible for the fete to go to ahead despite forecasts of rain but they advise: "Come prepared to be warm and dry so you can really have some fun."
