Visiting Artists
Afonwen Craft & Antique Centre will be reopening on the 13th April with slightly reduced opening times (10:00am to 4:00pm). From this date, our visiting artists will be back demonstrating and showing off their work. You’ll also be able to browse our gift shop and antique collection, as well as purchase takeaway drinks and cakes from Edenshine Restaurant.
We’re hoping to offer outside dining from the 26th April. However, we’re still waiting for confirmation from the Welsh Government. For the latest updates, follow us on Facebook or give us a call on 01352 720797.
You can still order takeaway food from Edenshine Restaurant. You can place an order over the phone and collect it from the centre without leaving your car. Click the button below to find out more.

Jewellery making, textile work, stichwork, weaving, illustration, painting (with various materials), hot wax art, greeting cards, and much more.

Check back every week as we’re always updating this calendar with details about upcoming events.

Liz will be bringing along her Spring collection of day and evening bags (with a twist of glamour) as well as other textile work she creates.
Liz is able to take commissions and sometimes makes items using your own materials.

Thelma is happy to stop to chat and takes private commissions on request.
