Gwyl y Gwendraeth ideas search
Residents of the Gwendraeth Valley are being urged to come forward with ideas for how they would like Gwyl y Gwendraeth to develop.
Organisers Menter Cwm Gwendraeth want to revamp the festival and are keen to hear from local people who can bring their skills and new ideas to the task.
Gwyl y Gwendraeth is held throughout the valley over the course of May and features events that are aimed at bringing local community groups of all ages together to celebrate the modern and traditional culture of Wales.
Events at previous festivals have included treasure hunts, sports activities, quizzes, concerts and a Youth Amateur Dramatic Production “Taro Tant”.
Gwyl y Gwendraeth attracts about 5,000 people.
Menter Cwm Gwendraeth community development officer Aled Vaughan Owen said: “We are looking for ideas from the people of the valley as to how they would like to celebrate the festival.
“We are looking for people with fresh and original ideas to renew Gwyl y Gwendraeth as well as people who can support us in putting on events.
“We are keen that the festival should reflect the need to promote the Welsh language and culture across all the villages and generations in the area. We want to create an exciting and contemporary programme of events that harnesses the enthusiasm that exists in the Gwendraeth Valley.”
