About the Community

Llangedwyn Community Council represents a rural community centred in the Tanat Valley in the Welsh Borderlands. Originally in Denbighshire (Clwyd), the parish became part of Powys in 1996 following boundary revisions and comprises the village of Llangedwyn together with the hamlets of Bwlch-y-ddar, Pentrefelin and Penybont Llanerch Emrys.

Llangedwyn is twinned with the French village of Omerville and the two villages exchange visits on alternate years.

Llangedwyn Memorial Hall in the centre of the village is used for events, meetings, concerts, classes and most other types of function.

the hall runs a friendly club every Monday 10 - 2 where visitors can try crafts such as crochet, knitting and felting free of charge with start up materials again free of charge, complimentary refreshments, a quiet corner, bookswap and more

For bookings please phone 01691 780281
