Festivals & Events in Wales are split into fourteen categories.
Welsh Arts Events and Welsh Arts Exhibitions cover all aspects of the arts including dance, theatre, music, cinema plus all sorts of painting then ceramics as well as sculpture large and small.
Welsh Country works with The National Gardens Scheme with gardens huge and tiny. Those gardens open most of the year shown in Long Term Open Gardens. Other commercial gardens such as Hergest Croft Gardens are shown individually.
Our readers that enjoy visiting gardens but also garden themselves additionally have a liking for the many Food Festivals across Wales. Welsh Food and Drink has always been high on the priority list for the magazine being reflected in part by listing not only Food Festivals but also events for foodies under Food Festivals and Food Events.
With these thoughts of Welsh Food and Drink one cannot ignore Farmers Markets in Wales. Not as big a food festivals but are put on far more regularly. Whether you call them Local Produce Markets or Farmers Markets the aim is the same to provide the public both Welsh and tourists with quality local scrumptious artisan food and drink. Another website that would be applicable for Welsh Food & Drink is www.welshfoodanddrink.wales.
Welsh Food and Drink and indeed many Farmers Markets in Wales are always included in in the local & regional Agricultural & County Shows listed in their own category
It is always difficult to categorise every type of event so Welsh Country has listings for Other Markets, Fairs and Festivals plus Other Shows & Events.
Some events such a mountain biking, cycling and group walking or rambling Welsh Country puts in the category of Outdoor Events.
Relaxing and enjoying yourself has many options and one that stands out is Hotel Spa Breaks and Retreats.
But it may be that events can be more cerebral be that specific Training and Learning Events or Talks Lectures and Conferences.
To date the events have been very grown up but Welsh Country also caters for the young either in years or in heart with events listing specifically as Children’s Events.
