Love is in the air at Aberglasney

Romance will again be in the air at Aberglasney House and Gardens tomorrow (February 14).
Following the successful promotion of free lovespoons for St Dwynwen’s Day, the gardens will be repeating the offer tomorrow for St Valentine's Day.
“All couples paying to enter the garden on St Valentine’s Day will receive a special gift,” said Aberglasney shop manager Vanessa Bolton.
“Over the years, Aberglasney has proved very popular with visitors seeking that extra-special romantic location for St Valentine’s Day.
“The gardens at Aberglasney have seen their fair share of marriage proposals and the setting lends itself wonderfully to romance.
“To make St Valentine's Day extra special for those looking for romance we will be giving a hand-carved Welsh lovespoon to every couple coming through the turnstiles.”
Aberglasney chief executive Roger Evans said he was eagerly looking forward to welcoming couples young and old to the gardens on St Valentine's Day.
“As well as being a romantic location, this is a magical and inspirational venue,” he said.
“The custom of carving and giving Welsh lovespoons originated in Wales hundreds of years ago. In fact, there are many on display at the Welsh Folk Museum in Cardiff, including one that dates back to 1667.
“The lovespoon tradition is one we are keen to preserve and promote here at Aberglasney – and what better day to give your loved one a gift of a love spoon than on St Valentine's Day?”
Aberglasney, acknowledged as one of the UK’s finest gardens, is the ideal location for romantic walks amidst beautiful, exotic flowers and plants from all parts of the world.
* The lovespoon offer applies to paying customers and season ticket holders. Couples only. Offer applies while stocks last.
