Dylan Thomas Festival

Dylan Thomas Festival returned and delighted!

This year’s festivities kicked off on 27 October, as always, with Dylan’s Big Birthday Bash, a day packed with fun activities for the family to enjoy.

Keen writers relished the series of creative writing workshops which focussed on different styles of writing – the thrilling suspense of a good spooky story, writing about food, and the special form of the villanelle.

Rugby enthusiasts enjoyed listening to Eddie Butler reading from and discussing his new book Gonzo Davies Caught in Possession before sharing his views on the Rugby World Cup.

Here’s just a few images which capture some of the magic of this year’s Dylan Thomas Festival.
