Wenvoe Craft Workshop proudly presents the Second Annual Wenvoe Christmas Craft Fair. This is the perfect opportunity to buy unique, handcrafted gifts and ornaments for Christmas and beyond. There will be a wide selection of crafts on offer which will include cards, wood, glass, slate, jewellery, scented candles, book folding, sewn and knitted items, confectionery, garden themed items and many more. There will be a charity raffle with superb prizes including a designer leather shoulder bag, a large Christmas Hamper basket full of deliciousness, a small Christmas hamper basket, a rich fruit Christmas cake (which will be hand baked and decorated in the village) and lots more. Once again the kitchen will be our refreshment area and will be well stocked with hot and cold drinks, cakes and biscuits which are home baked here in the village. This is very much a Wenvoe event run BY people from the village FOR people from the village and surrounding areas. One third of our 20+ tables are being stocked and run by people from Wenvoe and all profits from the raffle and from the refreshments sold will be donated to Wenvoe Good causes/charities. Don't miss this wonderful opportunity to meet up with friends old and new, put some ticks on your Christmas gift list and indulge yourself with a slice of cake and a chat.

Walston Castle – Real Ale Festival

 

WALSTON CASTLE

2nd and 3rd of September

We will be hosting a Real Ale festival. This is the 2nd one that we've hosted. Last year's proved to be a wonderful success, where the site raised over £700 for Great Ormond Street children's hospital.

The festival this year will be held over two days this time and it is a pleasure to see the high level of community spirit the event ignites in the staff, the regulars and our Wenvoe neighbours. There will be a bouncy castle and face painting for the kids, and traditional pub games, pub skittles, live music and a great selection of local and established Real Ales.

The event has encouraged other Beefeaters to try similar events throughout the South West and Wales as they attempt to mirror our success and word has spread. CAMRA has now recognised our festival and it will appear in their magazine as an event of importance.

On the same date, we are hosting a car boot sale between 10am and 5pm on the 2nd and 3rd of September (the same day as the festival) and the car space is £5 per car per day and the proceeds will also go to Great Ormond Street.

 



 

New Welsh Course

 

LEARNING WELSH IN WENVOE

Do you speak a little Welsh? Perhaps you did Welsh at school or started to learn as an adult? If so……

Good News – a Foundation course will be starting in Wenvoe in September! This course is suitable for adults with a basic understanding of Welsh or those who have completed the WJEC Mynediad/ Beginners course.

We will start with some revision: Talking about yourself – giving personal details such as name, home, phone number, age, family, interests, holidays, work and possessions. We will go on to cover: the past, time, people & places, problems, and complaining (!). You will learn how to express opinions + preferences, discuss the news, and ask a favour.

The classes focus on vocabulary which is useful in everyday life, and there is usually a lot of laughter!

We will follow the WJEC course book: Cwrs Sylfaen, Fersiwn y De (South Wales version) by Mark Stonelake and Emyr Davies, ISBN 978-1- 86085-518-4.

Classes are held on Tuesdays, 1-3pm at the Wenvoe Community Centre. The course runs for 30 weeks and starts on 19th September. Please contact Learn Welsh for further details, including term dates, prices -including concessions, how to enrol, or if you are unsure if this is the correct level for you:
