The Cefn Coed and Trefechan 50+ dance and leisure group is a new group which is made up of local residents which look to improve their health through leisure and dance and provide an opportunity to socialise locally. If you are interested why not come along and join them for a very entertaining afternoon. No previous experience of dancing is required and all levels are catered for.

Free Trip to St Fagans



Trefechan Communities First are running a free trip to St Fagans on Wednesday 18th february. A free coach will be provided departing from Trefechan Community Centre at 9.20am and returning back at Trefechan around 5.15pm. Please bring a packed lunch and wear suitable clothing. Tickets are limited so please book your place by calling into the office or telephoning on 01685 383758.

St Fagans is one of Europe's foremost open–air museums and Wales's most popular heritage attraction. It stands in the grounds of the magnificent St Fagans Castle, a late 16th-century manor house donated to the people of Wales by the Earl of Plymouth. During the last fifty years, over forty original buildings from different historical periods have been re-erected in the 100-acre parkland.
There are a range of activities to take part in, with workshops where craftsmens still demonstrate their traditional skills.Native breeds of livestock can be seen in the fields and farmyards, and demonstrations of farming tasks take place daily. Visitors gain an insight into the rich heritage and culture of Wales, and the Welsh language can be heard in daily use amongst craftsmen and interpreters.There are also galleries with exhibitions of costume, daily life and farming implements. Special exhibitions are also held regularly. Throughout the year, St Fagans comes to life — literally — as traditional festivals, music and dance events are celebrated.
For keen gardeners, there are wonderful gardens to explore and there will be a display of hotbeds and how they were used on the date that we are visiting.
