June/Mehefin 14 2008

Set in the tiny picturesque village of Nant Peris, at the foot of Snowdon, the festival has become known for its warm and friendly atmosphere.
Festivities start on the Friday night with an open session in the cosy back room of the Vaynol Arms.
During the day on Saturday there are workshops for fiddle and other instruments including a chance to try out the crwth (a medieval bowed lyre), clog dancing sessions and events for children including storytelling, climbing and puppet shows. Following the fun last year, there will be an open-mike concert in the pub at lunchtime, followed by an all-afternoon session to which all are welcome.
The evening concert takes place in the beautiful atmospheric setting of the medieval church of St Peris, conveniently situated next to the pub for the session afterwards!
