The 2025 Rhayader Carnival Queen has been crowned.

13-year-old Libby Williams from St Harmon, who attends Llanidloes High School, will proudly represent Rhayader during this year’s festivities on Saturday, July 19.

Libby is joined by Attendants Sophie Lewis, Madelyn Hamer, Evie Naylor, Lexi Gwilt, Sebastian Robins-Belfield, Mali Williams, and Saffir Bennetts.

The carnival week promises a packed schedule of fun and community events leading up to the big day. Activities will include treasure hunts (both by car and on foot), a vintage show and parade, quiz night, hill race, wheelbarrow race, and the popular “It’s a Knockout” competition.

The festivities will also feature a Groe gathering with live music, inviting both locals and visitors to join in the celebrations.
