𝐔𝐏𝐂𝐎𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐀𝐆𝐄𝐌𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐒 : The Prince and Princess of Wales to vist to Powys to celebrate community ahead of St David's Day

Thursday, 26th February

The Prince and Princess of Wales will visit Powys, the county with the most volunteers per capita in the UK, on Thursday, 26th February, to celebrate community ahead of St David’s Day.

Engagement : I – Hanging Gardens

The Prince and Princess will first travel to The Hanging Gardens, a space dedicated to nurturing community resilience and creativity in Llanidloes and its surrounding area.

The Hanging Gardens provides a vibrant hub for sustainable living, artistic expression, and shared experiences through their café, performing arts centre, indoor market, community garden, kitchens and workshops.

Their Royal Highnesses will meet with volunteers that keep the centre running and participate in some of their unique workshops and activities, including preparations for St David’s Day.

Engagement : II – Oriel Davies

They will then visit Oriel Davies, a public contemporary art gallery based in Newtown, rural Powys, to see a project funded by the Alexandra Reinhardt Memorial Award, focused on supporting the wellbeing of the children and young people in the local area. Regular creative workshops led by artist Nicky Arscott encouraged social connections and built confidence, through connection to nature and a celebration of cultures and community cohesion.

Their Royal Highnesses will first visit an exhibition of the work produced by the children and young people, and then join a workshop in action.

Engagement : III – Hafan yr Afon

Following this, they will join a local Welsh learners group, in the Gallery Café practicing their Welsh.

Hafan yr Afon is a hub for culture, community, and heritage located in Newtown, Powys, and is run by Open Newtown, a community land trust and social enterprise, which also manages 100 acres of local parklands. The Prince and Princess will attend a celebration of volunteer groups and community champions in Powys, which will be held at Hafan Yr Afon, supported by PAVO and Open Newtown.
