Concerts have returned to Cardigan Castle!

Welsh Whisperer took to the stage on 9 July, followed by a night of opera music on the 16th.

One of Wales’ biggest Welsh-language bands, Gwilym, headlined a night to celebrate Welsh-language music on the 24th, with support from Elis Derby and talented local artist Mari Mathias.

And this summer there’s even more!

There are performances from top tribute acts Stereosonics on 14 August and Hullaballoo Muse Tribute on 20 August, with the latter supported by another local singer/songwriter, Becky ‘The Bullet’ Thomas.

The series will be brought to a spectacular close with a night of entertainment from Welsh of The West End on 28 August, performing all your favourite musical hits from London’s West End.

The concerts, kindly sponsored by local companies BV Rees and Daioni Organic Ltd, will take place outdoors in accordance with Welsh Government guidelines.

The audience will be seated with tickets sold in groups of four or six; each group will be provided with a table for the evening.

Jonathan Thomas, director of Cardigan Castle said: “Missing out on concerts last summer was incredibly disappointing.

“Most people I speak to about the castle still mention the live concerts they went to back in 2019 and how much they enjoyed them.

“I’m delighted that we have been able to put a programme together for this summer, in line with the guidance, to start bringing such events back to Cardigan in a safe manner.

“It was difficult to make the series viable, so we are really grateful for the sponsorship from Daioni and BV Rees.

“I’m really excited about the variety of performers we have this summer, hopefully bringing something for everyone.

"It is a shame the capacities have to be limited compared to previous years, but it is an important step on the road back to normality.”

Food and drinks will be served to the tables throughout the evening for each concert.
