Llandovery Sheep Festival will again be a celebration of rural crafts, food and entertainment. The weekend-long festival, taking place in the Carmarthenshire town centre on September 20 and 21, 2025, will highlight the wool industry and local sheep farming.

The town’s Market Square and Castle carpark will be a kaleidoscope of colour during the event in September with exhibitors displaying their wares from textiles, arts and crafts to locally produced food and drink. The streets of Llandovery will be packed with entertainment and music. There will also be a climate change forum and a programme of storytelling for younger visitors to enjoy.

Festival chair Rachel Everett said: “The Llandovery Sheep Festival is an event that’s been wholeheartedly embraced by the people of Llandovery and its success is very much a reflection of that.

“We hope to have new features for this year’s event including more of a focus on the history of sheep farming and the versatility of wool. We are also encouraging everyone locally to enter our village show competition which we will run again this year as it was such a success last year. We also hope to have, once again, the vintage tractor show and the fun wheelbarrow race and lots more.

“The concept behind this community led festival is to showcase the best of Llandovery, to share its cultural identity and historical past through the promotion of the wool industry and the local farming economy. This year’s packed programme will certainly not disappoint and will have something for everyone.”

Rachel wants to bring people together to make this year’s Festival as inclusive as possible. She especially wants to hear from those interested in bringing sheep to show. If you would be interested in helping with your time, materials, services or financially, email [email protected] .
