A Mid Wales farming community is the subject of new ITV Wales documentary series, The Mart. The six-part series, which begins on Sunday evening, follows some of the families who run and rely on the Devil’s Bridge livestock mart near Aberystwyth over the farming season from February to September.
Over the course of the series cameras roll on the farmers’ mart, which is perched on a hill above the village and is deemed the community’s ‘best kept secret’ and ‘a special place where time has almost stood still'. The series has been produced by S4C presenter and producer Ifan Jones Evans.
Several locals talk about their memories of the farmers' mart during the first episode of the series. One of those people, mart manager Milwyn Davies says: "We've become used to it. It's become part of our routine every Wednesday."
