ABOUT 100 people attended Glan-y-Mor Community Farm’s woolly open day on Saturday, March 29.
The farm, which is managed by Green Links at Pembroke School, opened its gates to the public once again.
Members of the Pembrokeshire Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers held demonstrations and people were given a chance to turn their hand to drop spinning and felting.
There were also handmade products made using wool from the farm’s flock of Ryeland sheep.
Visitors also had the opportunity to explore the farm and its animals.
Fashion designer and farm manager Clare Johns said: “The day has been marvellous, with people coming all day and really getting involved. It makes such a difference for everyone to get a proper hands-on experience.
“Children particularly liked the felting and the chance to see the new born lambs. The coffee, homemade cakes and crumpets were very popular too.”
Open days and volunteering days will be held throughout the summer, with the next one on Saturday, May 17, from 10am to 3pm. Free admission, all welcome, refreshments available.
Glan-y-Mor Community Farm is a rural skills training centre. The self-sustaining farm offers a range of volunteering and training opportunities for everyone in the community.
