Market manager, Raoul Bhambral said: “This market has everything – food and music and maybe even a little politics! Something for everybody, especially cakes and home-made chocolate for the kids.

"It is great to see so much support for local businesses – I see more people everywhere in town every time!”

Rhiannon, a folk song singer who was inspired by her experiences of farming in rural Wales as a mother of three small boys, will perform 10am to 12pm.

Regular Lyndsey Maiden from Llansadwrn said: “I look forward to going to Llandovery Farmers Market. I like coming to town anyway and this is another attraction.

“It's getting better every time and I love to get to know and talk to the people who produce my food. A lot of my friends go too, so it’s a good chance to catch-up. This is definitely on repeat in my calendar."

The farmers market runs on the first Saturday of every month until October 2024.

Most of the produce on sale comes from around 25 miles of Llandovery.
