Live performance and festivals | Culture in Wales

Posted by Martina Birk on Wednesday, August 21, 2024

Theatr Clwyd in Mold is a focal point for the arts in North Wales, producing its own acclaimed plays and a rollicking pantomime that’s seen by more than 32,000 people each year. Venue Cymru in Llandudno, on the North Wales coast, hosts live entertainment of all kinds, from opera to boy bands. And Cardiff’s Sherman Theatre has a reputation for risk-taking, experimental productions. It was the first in Wales to be crowned UK Regional Theatre of the Year at The Stage awards.

There’s also National Theatre Wales, producing plays in English, and its Welsh-language counterpart, Theatr Genedlaethol Cymru. Their mission is to go beyond traditional venues, mounting productions in farmyards, aircraft hangars, nightclubs and village halls. And in the summer, we make the most of the long evenings with open-air theatre and films – including events at our beautiful castles.
