About

The Gŵyl Machynlleth Festival returns with an exceptional programme promising the best in Welsh, classical, world, jazz and folk music, alongside poetry, lectures, exhibitions and more.

Hidden in the foothills of Snowdonia, the vibrant market town of Machynlleth opens its doors every August to play host to a week long Festival of Welsh and International music, culture, and heritage.

From 17th to 24th of August the Tabernacle Centre is home to local favourites and performance greats from around the world. 

With concerts, talks, workshops, children's concerts, and exhibitions there is something for everyone at this year's festival. We look forward to welcoming you then.
