Llanteg to hold Village Fun Day and Summer Show at Llanteglos Field

Sponsored: Llanteg Fun Day and Summer Show takes place this Saturday, August 12.

Last year Llanteg Village celebrated the Queen’s Jubilee with a community picnic, live music and lots of family friendly games on Llanteglos Field, thanks to the generosity of Tony and Jane Baron of Llanteglos.

After holding three virtual shows online during lockdown Llanteg also held its first Village Show in the Hall, very ably organised by Roy and Sue James of the Gardening Club, with lots of entries for a wide range of food and craft categories, .

So this year, after those successes, the organisers have decided to combine the best of both, with the field once again offered by Tony and Jane Baron.

Village Hall chairman Sam Lander, supported by the Village Hall Management Committee, is overseeing the arrangements for the Fun Day, while Roy and Sue are again organising the Summer Show. This year the show will be held in marquees on Llanteglos Field alongside the Fun Day activities which will include a community picnic, community tug-of-war and - judging by last year - a highly competitive welly wanging competition!

There will be a raffle with proceeds going towards the ongoing Village Hall improvements.

Last year there were over 200 entries for the show and it is hoped to surpass this total with entries for produce, craft and art, including children’s categories. Hopefully, the weather will be kind but, if not, the Summer Show side of things may be forced to retreat to the Village Hall.

Entries for the Summer Show are free, so see which classes suit you; there are lots to try, even if you are not a gardener or expert artist!

Closing date for entries is August 10 (scroll down for more details, classes, rules and contact email).

As with last year’s fun day, those who are able are asked to bring a cake for sharing. Any uneaten cake will be delivered to those in the community who are unable to attend the event.
