Ceredigion County Council is hosting an open day at a farm it purchased last year as it plans to convert the site into a learning centre.

The open day will take place on Friday, 6 March 2026, between 10am and 3pm.

The council says the day will be an opportunity for anyone interested in taking courses related to the agricultural and rural sector to learn more about the opportunities that will be available to them.

A representation of businesses and organisations involved in the sector will be present to provide activities, exhibitions, advice and support throughout the day.

From September 2026, Hyfforddiant Ceredigion Training will offer two levels of agricultural apprenticeships at Llettytwppa Farm, a Level 2 Foundation Apprenticeship and a Level 3 Apprenticeship.

During the open day, practical sessions will be held, including fencing, making a poker with a gas furnace, maintenance tasks such as re-roofing, installing water pipes, making brake hoses, and a soldering task.

Cllr Bryan Davies, Leader of Ceredigion County Council, said: "I would encourage anyone interested in taking level 2 or 3 apprenticeship courses in the future to pop into Llettytwppa farm during our open day to find out more about the opportunities available. We would also like to invite families of the prospective learners, friends, organisations, businesses, and the wider community too. Llettytwppa farm will play a key role in developing the skills people need to stay in their communities to learn, live and succeed."

The council received a £1.85 million loan from the Welsh Government over the summer to purchase Llettytwppa Farm on Llanfair Road, in Lampeter, adjacent to the town’s university.

Ceredigion County Council says the project is part of a broader vision to support Ceredigion’s rural economy by offering courses that reflect the needs of the agricultural sector and related industries.
