What's on in Welshpool

Powys, Wales

Share:

Welshpool sits in the heart of Powys with enough space to make you forget your keys at the car park. The Powysland Museum keeps history alive without making it feel like a lecture from a strict headmaster. It is easy to walk down High Street and find something that catches your eye before tea time. Live music spills out onto the pavement when bands decide to play for the neighbours. A local theatre usually has a show running that makes you laugh until your sides ache. Near Here collects all these bits of local life so you do not have to hunt through directories on a Saturday morning.

Introduction to Seed Production

Introduction to Seed Production

Introduction to Seed Production Mon 13 Apr 2026 • 10:30 AM – 4:00 PM Y Gaer, Brecon, LD3 7DW Join growers from the Wales Seed Hub for an introduction to seed production. This workshop is ideal for those who want to begin their journey into producing seed, perhaps as a Seed Guardian for the Brecon Seed Library! We will cover the essential topics for producing good-quality seed: planning, growing, selection, harvesting, and processing. By the end of the workshop, you will have the confidence to go away and start growing your own seed crops. The workshop is designed for those who already have some understanding of how to grow food crops (we won’t be able to cover the basics of food growing from scratch). The workshop is run by the Seed Sovereignty Programme – https://www.seedsovereignty.info Ticket prices vary: We ask those who can afford it to book a general admission ticket. If you need a partially subsidised ticket, you are welcome to select that option at the checkout. We have a limited number of full bursary tickets.
