There’ll be hobbies and handicrafts of all kinds at the National Botanic Garden of Wales on 25-27 May. With displays of dolls’ houses by West Glamorgan Dolls’ House Society, jewellery demonstrations by Maggie C Jones, Dinefwr Photographic Society, British Woodcarvers’ Association, patchwork, quilting, lacemaking and more, there’ll be something for all the family.
Organiser Les Bryan said: “It’s set to be a tremendous event for the Bank Holiday weekend. The Hobbies Weekend has been a great success over the years and the Garden is a lovely setting for it. We’re very excited and hope visitors will pick up some ideas for a new hobby.”
There’ll be plenty to interest visitors around the Garden, in Principality House and in the stunning Great Glasshouse. For lovers of the great outdoors, there’s a chance to see the Garden at its most beautiful, along with canoes on the Garden’s splendid necklace of lakes. The Ladies’ Welsh fly-fishing team will be at the Garden for the first time too to offer some top tips.
