The Winter Fair in Wales

Jewellery for Christmas

Paul Wright Jewellery - 6 Metre Trade Stand!

Livestock prices reached new highs at the Royal Welsh Winter Fair last week with the sale of the champion pair of lambs for £3,400 each, the highest price ever paid for sheep at this event. The lambs were entered by breeders Michael and Heulwen Owens of Pontsian who claimed the supreme championship for the third time running. The winning lambs were purchased by Welsh Country Foods on behalf of Asda for one of their stores in the West Midlands.

The supreme champion beast, Tommy, a limousine steer was exhibited by Glyn Owens of Llanrhaeadr who officially opened the Winter Fair. It sold for £6,500 to the judge Tom Hughes, of Hughes Butchers, Anglesey.

Despite the desperately cold weather, which saw temperatures dropping to minus 7 degrees centigrade, mid afternoon attendance at the Winter Fair totalled 24,397, just 63 less than the full day figure last year.

Paul Wright Jewellery had prime position at the entrance to the new gift hall opposite the food festival. Sadly the doors to that entrance were left open for the duration of the show and the winter temperatures almost left both Paul and Wendy, who were in attendance both days, with hypothermia (a rapid, progressive mental and physical collapse that accompanies the lowering of body temperature!)

Never-the-less an enthusiastic crowd of hardy Welsh farmers certainly seemed to 'warm' to the extensive display of appealing silver and gold jewellery displayed on the new six metre jewellery stand that formed the most popular attraction featured in the new Gift Hall.

Burghley House is a grand 16th-century English country house near the town of Stamford in Lincolnshire. Its park was laid out by Capability Brown.

The Lincolnshire county boundary crosses between the town and the house which, in fact, is located in the ancient Soke of Peterborough, once considered part of Northamptonshire, but now in Cambridgeshire; and is administered as part of the City of Peterborough unitary authority.

Burghley was built for Sir William Cecil, later 1st Baron Burghley, who was Lord High Treasurer to Queen Elizabeth I, between 1555 and 1587 and modelled on the privy lodgings of Richmond Palace. It was subsequently the residence of his descendants, the Earls and Marquesses of Exeter, and is now owned by a charitable trust established by the family. Lady Victoria Leatham, a daughter of the 6th Marquess and a well-known antiques expert and television personality lives in the House as a Director of the Trust.

Never been to Burghley House? That may be true for some but you are likely to have seen far more of this fabulous property than you realise! It has been featured in several box office hit films and BBC productions including The Da Vinci Code and Pride & Prejudice.

Naturally we look forward to meeting new and existing customers at this our last Christmas Show of the year!
