Delighted to show-off Mabinogi Costumes and meet pupils from Abergwili School

Our 6 historical costume volunteers have created a range of costumes inspired by some of the ancient stories included in the Mabinogi.

On May 11 we opened our doors to the public (actually it was the doors of our marquee, which was pitched on the lawn!) for them to view the costumes.

We provided basic information about the costumes, the characters and their places within the stories.  The volunteers were joined by members of Carmarthen Spinners, Weavers and Dyers.

In the afternoon, we invited pupils from Ysgol Wirfoddol Abergwili (Abergwili Voluntary Controlled County Primary School), who loved hearing about the costumes. Volunteer Helen read the story of Blodeuwedd to the children and Engagement Officer Anne May read the story about how Lleu Llaw Gyffes won his name.  The children asked many many questions….
