Mother’s Day market

ON Mother’s Day, 31 March, Penrhyncoch Village Hall is hosting a Mother’s Day Market, organised by Clare Larke and Laura James, with proceeds going Penrhyncoch and Trefeurig Recreation and Sports Association (PATRASA).

Doors are open from 3.30pm to 6.30pm. Entry is free with a free glass of Prosecco for the ladies. Co-organiser Laura James said: “We are trying to help raise £1,000 to repair the decking and fence around the slide in Penrhyncoch Park.” Ladies can find plenty to pamper themselves with on stalls including Aber Eye Studio, Yonique make up, Bliss Hair and Make Up and Ancois beauty salon.

For a more hands on experience there’s Reiki and crystal healing by Mystic Earth and facial and foot Reflexology by Morwenna Gray. Handmade jewellery by Hidden Treasures and cards and frames by Nessy’s Creative Crafts provide those unique gifts and for fragrance, scented candles and more by Scentsy.

Or if you prefer something a little more naughty, cakes by The Grail and TeisenHelenzcakes will ensure that you can resist anything except temptation. If you wish, baby and wedding photographer Becky Hill will be on hand to capture any special family moments.

There will also be clothing from Closet. The youngsters will be kept entertained by Funtastic Nets face painting while there is also a free crafting table where those special, hand made gifts can be fashioned for Mum or Granny.

Tymawr Garage will be selling special Mother’s Day hampers to spoil that special mum. There will also be a beauty lucky dip and a raffle, with prizes kindly donated by The Marine Hotel, Byrgyr, Aberystwyth Arts Centre, Primal Gym, Driftwood Designs, No. 21 Flowers, Celtic Treasure and Cuts by James.

Laura James added: “The aims of the association are to provide fun, safe spaces for children to play. PATRASA has recently installed a roundabout which can be used by young people in wheelchairs. We hope that children of all ages will bring along their mums and grandmums to have a lovely afternoon out, support local businesses and help raise funds for Penrhyncoch Park and future PATRASA projects.” Or to donate money to PATRASA, go to https://www.gofundme.com/ help-penrhyncoch-park
