The organisers of CROESO must be so pleased to see this annual event back up and running – I know we are. It’s a two-day festival celebrating St David’s Day and all things Welsh held in Swansea’s City Centre and there is everything you could hope for, and so much more.
We know people always say that, but the guys in Swansea have an absolutely jam-packed weekend in store. There’ll be Food, Drink, Music, Dancing and a chance for you to brush up or learn Welsh.
There is so much going on that you’ll need to visit more than once to take it all in, and why wouldn’t you? This year’s event will feature the best of local Welsh culture, which is what St David’s Day is all about anyway.
- Food and drink
- Cooking demonstrations
- Live music
- Poetry
- Street entertainers
- Workshops
- Art and crafts
- St David’s Parade
- Children’s activities
It’s a little early to tell you the full line up of events and guest, but we looked back at previous years and it really has been jam packed.
Last time they even had a visit from celebrity chef Jean-Christophe Novelli.
Head to Castle Square to hear the wonderful sounds of Welsh music before moving to Portland Street and Oxford Street where you can sample the best of Welsh food, drink, and handcrafted goods. Don’t miss the cooking demonstrations and craft workshops.
Immerse yourself in the Welsh language at the Cwtsh Marquee. With music, poetry, and live entertainment you’ll find plenty of Welsh culture to enjoy at Croeso. Be sure to say ‘Shwmae!’ (Hello!) to the friendly folk of Menter Iaith Abertawe. They’ll be offering a warm Welsh welcome to everyone, and plenty of help for those of you learning Welsh, or considering it.
The CROESO ST DAVID’S FESTIVAL in Swansea City Centre, is on Friday 25th and Saturday 26th February between 11am – 4pm both days. There really is so much to see and feast. For more details, go here. CROESO
