Hello everyone and welcome to this month’s edition, bringing you all the latest goings-on throughout our area this April.

First on the agenda is a wonderful family occasion at Tredegar House. The Time Travelling Easter Trail gives visitors the chance to step back through history, described as a gateway to bygone eras. This hands-on attraction includes fun-filled pursuits, challenging riddles, and the special chance to see various interpretations of Morgan spanning different epochs. Those running the event describe it as a delightful day out for people of every age group. Taking part costs £3.50 on top of the regular admission price, and guests will receive complimentary rabbit ears together with either a conventional chocolate egg or a plant-based option. The trail will be open throughout the Easter weekend and will continue during the half-term holiday.

Heading to M Cwmbran, the Easter Food Craft and Gift Market welcomes those hunting for regional produce and seasonal items.
