Christmas Market date for Carmarthen


Shelley Williams of The Vintage Tea Party is organising a Christmas Market to be held in St Peter’s Civic Hall on November 12.
Shelley won RDP Sir Gâr’s 2010 Dragon’s Den style competition – Cwtch y Ddraig – with her idea to hire out her vintage tea sets for special occasions.
Her prize was £500 from the businesses sponsoring the event toward her business start up and she has since gone on to open a shop, The Vintage Tea Party, on Carmarthen’s Mansel Street.
“The competition gave me the opportunity to meet with other businesses and entrepreneurs and my business evolved very quickly with the resultant media attention that came with being a winner. It also gave me confidence to take The Vintage Tea Party forward as the judges believed in me” says Shelley.
RDP are working to regenerate rural Carmarthenshire through the Rural Development Plan (RDP) for Wales 2007 – 2013 which is funded by the Welsh Government and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development.
The latest RDP Sir Gâr scheme supporting rural entrepreneurs has recently launched, if you would like to find out more please contact WWEC on 01267 242364 or visit www.wwec.org.uk
