In the Buttermarket on Saturday local charities had stalls. One of them was the HayDay Café, which is actually held in Clyro Village Hall, on the last Wednesday of every month from 12.30 - 3pm. They are dementia friendly and welcome anyone who is lonely or living with dementia. Transport is available.
And following on from the HayDay Café - they are looking for entertainers to put on a Variety Show! So anyone who can recite a poem, do a comedy sketch, sing, dance, play an instrument, or work back stage is welcome to join in. Hay Community Theatre are doing workshops and rehearsals every Thursday evening from 12th September, from 7.45 - 9.45pm in Clyro Village Hall, leading up to the performance on November 23rd at 4pm.
The sessions are free thanks to the Lottery Community Fund for the Dementia Friendly "HayDay Creative Café Project".
They had some records for sale on their stall as well - I treated myself to two collections of Flanders and Swann songs, and one of Peter Sellers' sketches, so I'll be practicing for the Baskie acoustic sessions on Wednesday evenings!
Meanwhile there were lots of different crafts on display at the Big Skill at the Globe, with several stalls offering workshops on the crafts they were displaying. I treated myself to a lovely table cloth from Love Zimbabwe, block printed with elegant giraffes, and it was lovely to have a chat with Martha and see how big her little girl has grown. Her dad reckons he'll be able to retire soon - she's starting to take over and she's only seven!
I also got a closer look at the silver sculpture that's been visible from the road for a while. It's very finely balanced, so it moves in the wind. It was made by Will Carr, of willcarrsculpture.co.uk
And at the back of the top grassy area, there was this little "hobbit house":
