The Village
2019Seasons & Episode
In this first episode, we get to know the men and women who are the guardians of this magical Italianate village.
As summer begins Delyth starts planning for the wedding season and the staff at Portmeirion celebrate the work of Susan Williams-Ellis - the pioneer behind Portmeirion Pottery. We also meet Rob Piercy, a man who has spent 25 years capturing Portmeirion on canvas.
The holiday season brings thousands of people through the gates every day! New statues take pride of place on the central piazza and Gwynedd returns to where it all began for Sir Clough Williams-Ellis; his boyhood home at Plas Brondanw.
The quiet winter months give the village a chance to do some renovations and look ahead to next year. But it's still all-hands-on-deck for the annual Christmas Food Fair and Nigel is presented with a restoration project of biblical proportions.
