You are invited to the Royal Arcade Late Night Christmas Shopping evening on Thursday 3rd December, 5pm - 8pm. Pop in to Melin Tregwynt for a mulled wine and mince pie and take a look at our unique and inspiring Welsh gift ideas. We’re at no. 26 Royal Arcade just opposite the newly opened St.David’s Centre.
10% off any purchase over £50 on the evening
If you can’t make it to the store on Thursday 3rd you can still use the same discount offer in the run up to Christmas. Our Cardiff shop will be opening until 8pm every Thursday night and also on Sundays from 11am – 4pm during December.
We’re always looking for new ways to use our fabrics, so this year we’ve introduced a collection of upholstery fabrics and a range of lampshades. New products for this winter also include new bags, clothing for men and women, shoes and baby clothes.
Here at Melin Tregwynt we try to make things that are useful, beautiful and that will make the perfect gift. If you are buying a present for someone we are happy to gift-wrap and put in a personalized card.

This Christmas we got involved in a project with Fair Trade Wales.
Wales is the first Fair Trade Nation and they have a commitment to ensuring that the people of Wales have an understanding of this commitment and a way of supporting it. Fair Trade Wales supports the message - buy local, if you can’t then make sure it’s fairtrade.
This year, they decided to create a Fair Trade and welsh/local Santa outfit, with the support of Claire Andrew - an upcoming designer of Newport College of Fashion to help promote this key message in a new and creative way.
This is where we came in. They managed to secure some fairtrade cotton which was felted with one of our welsh wool weaves to become a new combined fabric.
We wish Elen Jones, Claire Andrew and all at Fair Trade Wales all the best with their project
………but I’d still like to know why Father Christmas looks like George Clooney.
