I didn't know about this wonderful gem of a place until the other day when I saw a blackboard advertising a Farmers Vintage Market . My Partner took me to where this beautiful house is which is only a stone throw from The Skirrid Inn. Llanvihangel Court is a listed building that was built in the 16th Century. The first thing you notice after you have driven up the tree strewn drive way, id the huge wooden barn that also acts as an arch to the cottages that are there. Casually walking around were a couple of Peacocks. I tried to get a photo but I didn't want to get to near because A) the peacock was on private land and B) I didn't want to disturb him.
The Market offers visitors local produce from local business' such as Rowlestone Court Ice Cream,Ty Gwyn Cider and the Tudor Brewery. Also you can route threw vintage clothes and homewares from Townsens Designs and Verry Vintage. The Market is held on the 2nd and 4th Saturday of each month so I am going to aim for this Saturday June 29th.
I do love my Vintage Fairs and I plan to get some fabric if I can so I can make some bunting to finish off my kitchen.
The Main House is behind two huge wooden gates that were locked but according to their website http://llanvihangelcourt.com/ they do open at certain times of the year for visits. Also check out their Facebook Page for upto date events.
So if you are in the area at any time pop along! I have also listed some great books to help you discover the area.
