Dydd Miwsig Cymru - celebrating Welsh music

Publish date: 2024-08-08

Wales' main celebration of our culture and language is the National Eisteddfod. The Eisteddfod is the perfect shop window for all types of music, dance, visual arts, literature and much more! The Urdd National Eisteddfod is Europe's largest traveling youth festival, attracting over 65,000 competitors from all over Wales annually, along with 100,000 visitors to the field. There is more to the Urdd than the competition, with loads of gigs, music workshops and acoustic performances to see.

Gŵyl Fach y Fro is the Vale of Glamorgan's annual Welsh arts and culture festival held on the Barry Island's beautiful beach. 

Sesiwn Fawr Dolgellau is a folk and world music festival which takes over the town's square and pubs. Expect jamming sessions, plenty of live music and fun. Past performers include Buncath, HMS Morris, Mari Mathias, Yr Eira and Morgan Elwy.

And of course, many pubs in Wales are community owned. Live music is central to these community venues, and the sounds of the acoustic nights, jamming sessions and live gigs raise the roof of these pubs - which are much more than just a bar between four walls.
