Crafty March at Llangollen Pavilion

The Llangollen Pavilion will come alive with colour, creativity and community spirit this spring as it hosts A Crafty March, an exciting programme of hands-on workshops in aid of the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod. The first event, a Dragon Workshop is this Sunday for St David’s Day.

Crafting and the Eisteddfod have so much in common. Both celebrate heritage, imagination, skill and the bringing together of people through shared creativity. From vibrant national costumes to the artistry seen on stage each summer, creativity is at the heart of the festival. ‘A Crafty March’, gives the community the chance to experience that same spirit first-hand, while helping to support the future of this internationally renowned event.

Steve Price, organiser of A Crafty March, said, “A Crafty March is about energy, creativity and bringing people together in the home of the Eisteddfod. Whether you are stitching a dragon, building a scrapbook or folding something extraordinary from a single sheet of paper, you are part of something bigger. These workshops are fun, welcoming, and inspiring, and every ticket sold helps support the festival. It is a wonderful way for people to get involved, learn something new and help secure the future of this iconic celebration of music and dance.”
