Love this.. love the Llandovery Sheep Festival🐑❤️
The Drovers are Returning to Llandovery!
Once upon a time, the streets of Llandovery would have been filled with drovers moving huge flocks of sheep, cattle and even geese on their long journeys to market.
This Sheep Festival, we're bringing a little of that history back to life – and we need your help to make our flock!
With the help of Pethau Pawb Llanymddyfri, local children are invited to create their own fabulous, fun and upcycled animal costumes before joining our Drovers' Walk through the town on festival day.
🐑 Be a sheep
🐄 Be a cow
🪿 Be a goose
…or use your imagination and surprise us!
Gather your flock! Children will take part in small groups, with one member becoming the drover responsible for getting their unruly livestock safely to market. Friends, siblings and families can get together and decide who'll be the animals – and who gets the all-important job of keeping them under control!
On festival day, our drovers and their livestock will make their way down Stone Street and into Broad Street before arriving at our very own Drovers' Market, where we'll recreate a little of the hustle, bustle and fun of market day.
So gather your gang, choose your animals and decide who's going to be the drover...
Then get your flock to market!
Costume drop-in workshop: Saturday 12 September
Drovers' Walk: Saturday 19 September – Llandovery Sheep Festival
No livestock movement licence required for this particular flock!
