Aberglasney Gardens will once again host one of Carmarthenshire’s biggest festive events when the annual Winter Fair returns on December 2 for a full weekend.
For three days, the gardens will be transformed into a Christmas paradise, with over 100 handpicked exhibitors as well as music, entertainment, Santa visiting and local artisan food and drink producers.
Jim Stribling, Aberglasney’s director of operations, said: “We are excited to be able to once again hold our Winter Fair after a break of two years due to covid restrictions.
“It will be the perfect start to the festive season as the gardens and mansion house will be transformed into a one-stop-shop for those preparing for Christmas.”
The fair will be open each day from 10am until 4.30pm. Visitors will be welcomed with a glass of mulled wine and a mince pie.
Visitors will find unique gifts, handmade decorations, art, beautiful homeware and artisan food. There are also one-off pieces of jewellery and fashionable winter wear for those who want something special.

Santa will also make time in his busy schedule to visit every day. Sion Corn will be chatting in English, neu yn Gymraeg, and will give each visiting child a unique Aberglasney gift.
Children will also be able to enjoy a trail around the gardens, with proceeds from the visits to Santa’s grotto will go towards the Noah’s Ark children’s charity.
The event will have a food marquee which will give visitors the opportunity to stock up on all their festive treats with some of the region’s very best artisan food and drink producers exhibiting.
From decadent chocolate, festive spirits to Welsh cheese, there’s something to tantalise everyone’s tastebuds. There will also be a range of outlets for ‘on the go’ eating and drinking.
Entrance to the Winter Fair will be £10 per person with no separate entrance fee to the gardens.
Aberglasney members are admitted to the Winter Fair free of charge as part of their membership package.
There will be a free park and ride service available from Gelli Aur College. Group discounts are available if pre-arranged.
