Background
History
Afan was a 6th-century saint supposedly related to the Cuneddan dynasty of Gwynedd. He was said to have been martyred on the banks of the Afon Chwefru during an attack by Irish pirates or Danes. The Llanafan Fawr Agricultural Show is held on the third Sunday in September each year. The inaugural show was held in 1947 and it is believed to be one of the oldest shows in north Breconshire.
