In 1205, King John granted the Bishop of Llandaff an annual fayre at Whitsuntide. It continued until the 1880s when its reputation for 'drunkeness and debauchery' caused its demise.
In 2018, Llandaff 50+, in association with the Llandaff Society, is bringing back the May fayre, although rather more sedately!
Newly trained storytellers and guides, funded by Gwanwyn, will be on duty and there'll be medieval-style games, music and refreshments...and maybe even a visit from the Lord of the Manor!
