Film: MadFabulous
This Friday 5th , Sunday 7th and Wednesday 10th June.
When the flamboyant Henry Paget arrives in 1890’s North Wales to claim his aristocratic inheritance,
his theatrical flair and defiant eccentricities send shockwaves through the upper-class elite, much to the amusement of the local townspeople.
Alongside his spirited cousin, Lily, and loyal butler, Gelert, Henry tries to carve out his own identity as the Fifth Marquess,
navigating suffocating traditions, scheming relatives, and the long shadow cast by his estranged father.
Films are returning to Ucheldre, Starting with Northern Soul: Still Burning from Friday 15th May.
Followed by MadFabulous in June.
An exploration of the cultural phenomenon that is Northern Soul,
charting how this movement has weaved and transformed itself musically and culturally through the decades.
Northern Soul continues to re-invent itself more than any other music genre,
remaining as vibrant and relevant today as when it first evolved.

Friday 3rd October – Sunday 2nd November
A mother and son exhibition of oil paintings and photography.
Twenty four years ago Anwen Roberts’ first solo exhibition opened in Ucheldre while she was heavily pregnant with her son Cai Jones.
Appropriately, when an opportunity arose again to exhibit here, she decided to show her oil paintings alongside her son’s photographs.
He is now also a farmer and keen photographer.
‘The importance of conversation‘ Oil on canvas – Anwen Roberts
Mother and son are inspired to create by aspects of their farming lives.
Exhibiting his photographs for the first time, Cai farms the headlands of Rhoscolyn.
He finds beauty in an often harsh farming environment, capturing peaceful or aesthetically pleasing colours and forms.
Anwen is drawn to the day to day of the people, places, animals, and activities of the ever changing visual imagery of agricultural life.
‘Dramatic sky‘ Photograph – Cai Jones
Anwen Roberts says: “If my painting It’s good to talk…..and listen (No 5) is sold, the proceeds will be donated to The DPJ Foundation. The Charity supports farmers needing help with their mental health. It’s a brilliant Charity that is very much needed as there is a very high suicide rate amongst farmers due to the high pressure nature of their business, and isolation, amongst other things.”

The late Sir Kyffin Williams OBE, RA:
‘Keith Andrew, born and trained in London, found in Anglesey an island that appealed to his contemplative nature and provided him with the subject matter that reflects it….. The island, with its mysterious heartland, is not his only source of inspiration. From his home he can see the distant mountains and is often working amongst them. Quiet, energetic, and determined, Keith Andrew is now very much a man locally regarded as an important cultural figure and we, who were born on the island are grateful to him, and hope he will stay with us, recording a Wales that is in constant danger from the seemingly inexhaustable desire of man to scar, pollute and desecrate our inheritance. Keith Andrew records our past and our present and in doing so warns us through apathy it might all be lost.’
Graham Jenkinson aka The Scrapman writes:
Exhibition runs from 6 September- 15 October
Graham writes:
“All my sculptures are made from scrap metal, old tools, and pieces of redundant machinery. I like to take that which has had a previous life then resurrect it into a characterful sculpture a kind of metalmorphosis. Most of my sculptures are quirky characters intended to make people smile; if this happens, I have achieved all I set out to do.”
