August in Brecon brings the Jazz Festival and once again it will be accompanied by the Flower Festival at the Plough Chapel in Lion Street.
Here there will be the chance to see the varied floral displays set around the Grade II listed building.
The local talented flower arrangers have been given the theme of “Dance” for their displays this year.
Visitors are encouraged to come and see the flowers and the Victorian chapel interior. It has been described as one of the most beautiful nonconformist chapels in Wales.
The flower festival will run between 10am and 5pm on Friday, August 11 and Saturday, August 12. There will be a service on the Sunday afternoon at 2.30pm.
Tea, coffee, cold drinks and cakes will be served over the two days and there will be a bookstall selling second-hand books, as well as a raffle.
The chapel was first founded in 1699 on the very same site which it shared with a public house called The Plough, and it has kept the name ever since. The present chapel was extensively redeveloped towards the end of the 19th-century and that is when the magnificent carved woodwork was created by local craftsmen for the chapel interior.
The event promises to be a great opportunity to see floral crafts in the historic setting of a chapel built by Victorian craftsmen.
