Welcome
Founded in 2001 by its current Artistic Director, Julia Jones, the Llandeilo Fawr Music and Flower Festival has, since its very inception, sought to bring artists of truly international stature to this lovely corner of Wales. In the process, it has succeeded in turning this small town, for one week each year, into a venue which ranks with the musical capitals of the world in terms of both the quality and sheer excellence of its programming. In that week anyone crossing the town’s famous bridge would hardly suspect what riches lay in store for them. Sir Willard White, Sir Thomas Allen, The King’s Singers, Nikolai Demidenko, Tasmin Little, Jamie Cullum : the list is endless, and this is indeed a Festival which, year by year, sets its sights ever higher.
Flower Festival on the theme New Life
Venue: St. Teilo’s Church
Time: Saturday 11th July - Saturday 18th July [10.00am to 5.00pm] Wednesday [12.00 -5.00]

St. Teilo Gospels Exhibition [Dates/Times as above]
The beautifully illuminated Biblical Manuscript belonged to the religious community founded by St. Teilo in Llandeilo Fawr between the 8th - 10th Centuries. Records made in the margins at that time are the earliest surviving examples of written Welsh and are a fascinating insight into Medieval Wales.
