Shona M Macdonald & Sophie Harvey Exhibition

Sophie Harvey A textile artist from Worthing, Sophie creates work with natural fibres and fabric-based processes. Her practice explores textiles as part of the human experience, the materials we wear, live with and pass on, as a means of connection. The work moves between structured often quilted, material-led pieces and brighter appliquéd, often text-based compositions. Across both approaches, there is a focus on construction, clarity of form and the communicative potential of cloth.

Cycle from the top of Wales to the bottom 6th

Highway Adventures presents the Welsh Cycling Challenge in 2026, where you'll cycle the length of Wales over 3 days. Cycling the length of Wales is approximately 210 miles and is not something to take lightly. However, as tough as it may be, the sense of achievement you'll feel when you reach Cardiff Bay is incomparable. It’s a fantastic way to see Wales, with breathtaking views of Welsh scenery along the way. This trip is fully supported. You will be joined by John, who will cycle alongside you and handle navigation. John is an experienced cyclist who has completed this challenge multiple times. He is also a skilled bike mechanic in case repairs are needed. We will also meet you at checkpoints with our minibus and trailer, carrying food, water, parts, and more so you can cycle light. This challenge is perfect for fundraising for your chosen charity. We can help promote your fundraiser across our social media channels, and we have plenty of tips to assist with raising money. Pickup Information We will be departing from Builth Wells at 6 am latest on day 1. If you'd prefer to arrive the day before, we can assist with transportation from train stations like Hereford or Merthyr Tydfil to Mid Wales. Secure parking is also available if traveling by car.
