National Wool Museum gears up for the Good Life

Get ready to live the good life this weekend (Saturday 20 September: 10am-3pm) at the National Wool Museum in Dre-Fach, Felindre.

As part of the Museum’s autumn events programme, Living the Good Life, will be the perfect opportunity for visitors to get to grips with all-things nature inspired from sustainable beekeeping to natural dying using plants.

The brand new event will welcome local crafts people from all over Carmarthenshire who will showcase their special skills from making ropes for horse’s halters to honey extraction, fabric felt making and knitting.

Hobbyist beekeeper Christine Morgan who will be attending, said: “I am very much looking forward to this event - it will enable me to demonstrate how as beekeepers we look after our bees and explain how our environment is key in bees survival. This is also a great opportunity to show how we extract honey and why by using this method our honey is of superior quality.”

“We’re delighted to be hosting this event,” said Head of Museum, Ann Whittall. “It’s something brand new for us and we do hope lots of people will come along and experience what we have to offer.”

As well as the chance to see live craft demonstrations, visitors will also have the opportunity to browse the Museum taking in the rich history of the woollen industry – one of the most important and widespread industries in Wales.

Entry to the event and Museum is free.
