Anglesey Council to Showcase Services and Opportunities at Anglesey Show
Guided by the Council Plan 2023–28, the authority's goal is to 'create an Anglesey that is healthy and prosperous where people can thrive'.
The two-day event, taking place on 12 and 13 August at Mona near Gwalchmai, is one of the island's biggest annual gatherings.
The county council's marquee is located on stand D11. There, visitors can learn more about their economic development work, including the Freeport scheme.
There will be an opportunity to learn more about employment opportunities provided by the council through valuable schemes such as Dyfodol Môn – which gives graduates the opportunity to follow a career – and Denu Talent, which offers work experience. Both schemes reinforce the Council's aim of being the employer of choice for young people and residents.
Members of the Anglesey Urdd Eisteddfod's Executive Committee will also be at the marquee as they continue to raise funds to host the unique Welsh festival in 2026. Hoodies, t-shirts and other merchandise will be available to buy.
Information will be available on the Welsh Government's Ffermio Bro scheme, launched by the Welsh Government on 1 April 2025 to support projects to improve nature and the environment in National Parks and National Landscapes (formerly Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty) across Wales.
The council will showcase services including Oriel Môn, Anglesey Archives, Teulu Môn, and the County's Libraries, with staff on hand to offer advice on fostering and adoption. Broadcasting live from outside the marquee, MônFM will once again join the event.
Sports activities, craft workshops, and and staff from the Housing Service will also be providing advice and support to Council tenants, while the Môn Actif leisure team will host the showground's sports area. Next door, the Anglesey Dementia Hub – Age Friendly stand (D12) will provide information and guidance on ageing well.
The Leader of the County Council, Councillor Gary Pritchard, said:
'A wide range of our services will be present on the council's stand during both days of the show. Once again, our presence will be an opportunity to demonstrate how we are working on behalf of local residents and communities.
'The Council Plan is crucial as we work on behalf of Anglesey. We continue to provide an extensive range of quality services on behalf of the public – despite facing increasing financial challenges. At its core is our desire to continue to work with residents and our partners to ensure the best possible services, improve the quality of life for all and create opportunities for future generations.'
'We look forward to attending the Show, which is without doubt, one of the biggest events in the Anglesey calendar, and wish the organisers, those competing or those with trade stands all the best over the two days.'
Anglesey County Council Chief Executive, Dylan J Williams, added:
'As a county council, we're pleased to be back at the Show once again this year, supporting this special event. The Anglesey County Show raises the Island's profile, supports the agricultural community and wider economy.'
'I can think of no better stage than the Anglesey Show to tell residents and visitors about our aspirations for the Island and its communities.'

Why have Oasis hit out at Edinburgh Council?
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) OASIS slammed Edinburgh Council after city officials hit out at fans attending the Britpop band's megatour. Both the first and second nights of Oasis Live '25 at Murrayfield Stadium included sweary rants from Liam Gallagher about "waiting for a f****** apology" from the Council. 1 Liam Gallagher branded Edinburgh Council 'f****** slags' Why have the Gallagher brothers criticised Edinburgh Council? Oasis' feud with Edinburgh Council began when officials branded the band's fans as "fat, drunk, and rowdy" back in June. The officials claimed Oasis fans were "middle aged men" who "take up more room", and expressed concern for performers at the Edinburgh Fringe taking place at the same time as the band's August shows. On his band's first night in Murrayfield, Liam hit back, calling the Council "f****** slags". He also took a swipe at the Fringe: "People juggling f*****g bollocks and that? Swallowing swords ...one-legged bicycles. What's all that s*t about? S****y card tricks". The second night included more sweary comments before the band performed 1994 hit Bring It On Down. Liam told the crowd: "Two billion pounds we'll have brought into this city over the next few days - two f*****g billion - and you'll see none of it." These comments followed superfan David Walker of the Oasis Collectors Group condemning the Council's "jaundiced view" of Oasis' fanbase. When can I next see Oasis play in the UK and Ireland? Oasis will play one more sold out show at Edinburgh's Murrayfield Stadium, on August 12. After that, they'll head to Dublin on 16 and 17 August, before returning to Wembley for two more shows, on 27 and 28 September. Every UK and Ireland show on the tour is currently sold out on Ticketmaster. The tour heads to the US and Canada in late August, and finishes with an autum leg Asia, Australia, and Latin America. What's on the Oasis Live set list? Fittingly, the Oasis Live '25 tour opens with Hello, before moving into classic hits like Morning Glory and Cigarettes & Alcohol Their best known songs, Wonderwall, Don't Look Back In Anger and Champagne Supernova, are saved for the encore. Hello Acquiesce Morning Glory Some Might Say Bring It On Down Cigarettes & Alcohol Fade Away Supersonic Roll With it Talk Tonight Half The World Away Little By Little D'you Know What I Mean? Stand By Me Cast No Shadow Slide Away Whatever Live Forever Rock 'n' Roll Star Encore: Masterplan Don't Look Back In Anger Wonderwall Champagne Supernova The iconic 90s band are supported on their reunion tour by Richard Ashcroft of the Verve, and indie rock band Cast. Have any celebrities been to the Oasis tour? Celebs from the music, film and TV worlds have flocked to Oasis' reunion gigs. Tom Cruise, Dua Lipa, Davina McCall, and fellow 90s pop star Geri Horner were all spotted during the band's five-night run at Wembley. Before heading to South Korea in October, the Gallagher brothers will reportedly splurge £200,000 on a party with celeb pals to celebrate the end of their UK tour.

Closed Gwynedd attraction under redevelopment receives another £3.3m
A major tourism attraction - currently being redeveloped - has received another significant funding boost. The National Slate Museum in Llanberis has been closed since November last year and will reopen in 2026. It is undergoing a significant upgrade to create a new learning centre, play area, shop and café at the museum, as well as making the whole site more accessible. Today Welsh Government announced an additional £3.3m boost to support the re-development. This brings the Welsh Government's total contribution to the project to £5.8m - with £2.5m previously awarded. On top of this the last Conservative UK Government approved £6.2m from the Levelling-Up fund, part of a wider regeneration bid by Cyngor Gwynedd. In addition the project has had £12m from the National Lottery Heritage Fund. This brings the total investment to £24m - raising expectations of what will be unveiled when the site reopens. As well as paying for the redevelopment funding will also enable the site to continue to develop its role as a living museum by offering training and opportunities for people to learn about and develop traditional heritage skills. The museum has temporarily closed to safely carry out the conservation and renovation work. But Amgueddfa Cymru is taking the museum on the road around local attractions and community events in north Wales and through 'pop up' museums at the Quarry Hospital and Penrhyn Castle. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox Today's announcement consists of an additional £3m plus the award of a £300,000 Communities Facilities Programme grant towards the construction of a new café, Learning and Volunteering Centre and Changing Places facilities. Culture Minister, Jack Sargeant said: 'As Culture Minister and a proud north Walian, it's been an ideal summer for me – visiting one exciting development or event in the Gogledd after another. The almost-finished, new-look Theatr Clwyd; the National Slate Museum at the beginning of its own transformation journey; the Maes of the National Eisteddfod in Wrexham where I joined tens of thousands of other visitors to celebrate all things Cymraeg and was updated on the progress of the new Football Museum for Wales within Wrexham Museum. 'We have increased day-to-day spend on culture by 8.5% this year and tripled investment in venues and sites compared to a decade ago. But our spend on culture goes far beyond this - it is woven into budgets across Welsh Government. 'Our investment in the National Slate Museum today is an excellent example of how this works in practice with £5.5m from my department's budget combined with community regeneration funding to ensure the redeveloped museum offers a world class experience for visitors to the slate landscape of north-west Wales – a UNESCO World Heritage site since 2021.' They added that the Government had allocated over £230m this year to culture and cultural programmes outside of the Culture Minister's portfolio - across departments including education, local government, economy, health, the Welsh language, energy and social justice. This includes funding for familiar and culturally significant projects like the National Music Service, the Urdd, National and Llangollen Eisteddfodau, the summer reading challenge across all libraries in Wales, the investment in our film, TV and live music sectors and high-profile events like Tafwyl and the year-long 2025 Richard Burton Centenary programme.
