* The poster for Dory Gallery's first-ever summer fair on June 20.
Llangollen's Dory Gallery has two special events planned for this summer.
The first is its first-ever summer fair on Saturday June 20 and features both local and visiting artists and makers.
Gallery owner Suzanne Mathieson said: "We will be having our tea, coffee and cake room to sit and relax once you have been around to visit our 18 makers.
"Our second event is an exhibition which runs throughout July, August and September. It is entitled Between Moss and Myth, is about local myths and legends and the Dee Valley landscape and it shows how they connect to each other.
"Because of what is going on in the world at the moment we have deliberately chosen myths that are not about war and fighting and concentrate on the more gentle ones.
"We have clay and illustration, photography and weaving, collage and textiles, wood carving and more.
"We also have poetry and story-telling, a harpist and music and a fascinating talk on the medicinal properties of moss from Zoe, the owner of the new Medicine Garden Shop in Bridge Street.
"All in all it's a cultural and historical experience for our community, with a lot of people giving their time, money and effort to show off our town and heritage.
"We are coordinating with Llangollen Museum to make sure we are factual and we have retired film production members helping us dress the whole gallery.
"Even though this will be a more condensed version of the exhibition than we had planned I can promise the love and enthusiasm of all involved will shine through and it will be an interesting informative exhibition that will keep our legends alive."
