Tafwyl returns to Cardiff on 13-14 July, with a variety of artists and musicians celebrating the Welsh language.<\/p>\n

The annual Welsh culture festival brings creatives together from across the country, with Welsh performers taking centre stage throughout this free two-day festival.<\/p>\n

Welsh acts will headline the main stage at Tafwyl on Saturday and Sunday, 13 and 14 July, with performances from Eden, Fleur De Lys, Al Lewis, and more.<\/p>\n

“Tafwyl was set up to celebrate Welsh music, language and culture within the capital city and offer a platform for Welsh language performers from all over Cymru,” said Tafwyl chief officer Bethan Jones-Ollerton.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s live music and events across three stages, as well as a sports area, kids village, and even live cooking demonstrations.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find lots of local food and drink, too, including pints of the specially-brewed, festival-exclusive Cwrw Tafwyl beer.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Tafwyl is being held in Bute Park this year, spread out across Cooper\u2019s Field and the Sunken Lawn, with various stages and tents throughout.<\/p>\n

“Tafwyl was established 18 years ago in 2006 in the Mochyn Du pub car park with around 1,000 attendees,” said Ms Jones-Ollerton.<\/p>\n

“It quickly outgrew the car park and moved to Cardiff Castle in 2012, and then last year moved to its new home in Bute Park as it outgrew the castle.”<\/p>\n

The main festival weekend starts at 11:30 BST on Saturday, 13 July, and comes to a close at around 22:00 on Sunday, 14 July.<\/p>\n
