Throughout the week the artists will be working at The Llanfyllin Workhouse and we encourage the local community to come and meet them and see them at work.

We will also be offering a programme of associated events including "A Taste of Estonia" where people will have the opportunity to meet and get to know the artists and experience Estonian food, music and other cultural delights.
