St David’s Day will be marked by a special country market at Usk’s Community Hub, with all the money raised going to support people with sight loss.

The event (Wednesday March 1) will run from 9.30am to 12 noon at the Maryport Street venue, where stalls will sell cakes, jams, preserves, flowers and plants as well as tea, coffee and freshly-made Welsh cakes.

Handmade crocheted daffodil brooches will also be on sale.

In addition, a representative from RNIB Cymru will offer advice for people with sight loss to use laptops, tablets, smartphones and e-readers and conduct a demonstration of associated products.

Councillor Bob Greenland, Monmouthshire’s cabinet member with responsibility for the county’s community hubs said, “Usk’s St David’s Day country market is a great example of how the council’s five hubs can bring people together to benefit a good cause and support local community activity.”
