The market town of Builth Wells lies on the banks of the River Wye. It has long been an important regional market town because of its location at the heart of 'sheep country'.
The original Builth castle was razed to the ground by the last Welsh prince, Llywellyn ap Gruffyd. It was rebuilt in the concentric style and later became the model for Edward I’s iron ring castles – though today only ruins remain.

2009 marks the 250th anniversary of Scottish poet Robert Burns' birth. Burns was a poet and a lyricist and is widely regarded as the national poet of Scotland.
The Burns Supper was started a few years after his death by a group of his friends; they held the supper to honour and remember Burns. The tradition caught on and the ritual of Burns Supper is now held all around the world.
His life and work will be celebrated throughout the year at many Burns-related events.
