FORMER Prime Minister Theresa May is spending the bank holiday weekend in Dolgellau.

The MP for Maidenhead and Berkshire and former Prime Minister between 2016 and 2019 is no stranger to the area, holidaying often in the area with her husband, Sir Philip May.

She famously made the decision to hold a snap election in 2017 after a walking holiday in Dolgellau.

Mrs May purchased a ring and a bracelet from the art store.

The Gallery is home to a co-oeprative of 16 multi-talented craftworkers and artists that all live and work within 50 miles of Dolgellau.

A founding principle of the group is to display the widest range of differing crafts and art, all assembled in one gallery.
