William and Catherine visit Powys ahead of St David’s Day

At Oriel Davies, they learnt about a community arts project supporting children and young people’s wellbeing.

“It’s amazing what’s happening here,” Catherine told the families.

“It must be such a lovely way to make friends and share stories.”

The initiative has brought together local families, including those from Syrian and Afghan refugee backgrounds, for regular creative workshops led by artist Nicky Arscott.

Arscott said the couple would see work created by the year-long programme, including a collaborative tablecloth made from materials gathered over months of sessions.

“We just did regular art workshops, exploring different materials, and we ended up making a table cloth which gathered all the materials over the course of the months… which now forms part of the exhibition,” she said.
