Tafwyl is a celebration of the Welsh language, arts, and culture. The festival is an opportunity to showcase the best of Welsh culture and tradition. It is a celebration of the Welsh language, which is one of the oldest and most vibrant languages in Europe.
The main event is the weekend-long Tafwyl Fair at Bute Park, featuring performances and appearances from some of Wales' biggest names in the arts, culture and sport. Over both days, Welsh language music is centre stage with performances in four on-site areas.
The street food area always delivers delicious food from local producers and eatery owners, while stalls from Welsh makers prove a hit.
Sports Area: Get active and enjoy some friendly competition.
Kids’ Village: Fun activities for the little ones.
A fringe festival runs alongside it, with events in various museums, libraries, cafés, bars and arts venues across the city.
Being a non-Welsh speaker doesn’t restrict you from enjoying the event at all. It's all about celebrating Welsh arts and culture – even if this is your first ever experience of the language. It’s the perfect place for meeting old friends and making new. There’s a special tent for Welsh learners, with special guests on the stage, art and craft for the children and a café available all day. A great way to know more about learning the language, and plenty of opportunities to practise your Welsh and meet other learners.
No tickets required—simply come along, immerse yourself in the festivities and experience the magic of Tafwyl!
