Westminster gets taste of county

CARMARTHENSHIRE recently took centre stage in Westminster at a special celebration organised in collaboration between the Farmers' Union of Wales and Caerfyrddin Member of Parliament Ann Davies.

Carmarthenshire Day was held at the historic Westminster Hall, bringing together a wealth of parliamentarians, peers and producers in a vibrant showcase of rural Welsh excellence.

As part of the celebrations, nine celebrated producers from across the length and breadth of Carmarthenshire were present, including Bremenda Isaf, Tregroes Waffles, Brecon Carreg, Castell Howell, Coaltown Coffee, Mêl Gwenyn Gruffydd, Caws Cenarth, Carmarthen Ham and The Welsh Wool Shop. Each had the opportunity to engage with MPs, Lords and guests, offering a powerful insight into the diversity and quality of Carmarthenshire's food, drink and craft sectors.

The event was officially opened by Llanelli MP Dame Nia Griffith, Parliamentary Under Secretary of State in the UK Government's Wales Office.
