Bag for Life!

We watch the weird and wonderful journey of this powerful, mighty bag unfold! The downs and ups, the lows and highs and everything in between that gets thrown at us. The bag opens up and delves into possibilities, hopes, optimism and beliefs. How could you use your ''Bag for Life?''

An uplifting tale of the things we do to find happiness, and realising that everyone may have their own version of what this is. Full of memorable music, comedic moments, film pastiche and heart, “Bag for Life” is a blast.

Storytelling

Throughout the Craft Festival, you will be entertained and amazed by the strories and tall tales of Story Teller and Cyfarwydd, Ceri John Phillips. Ceri focuses on the Mabinogi tradition, urban legends, and lesser-known Welsh folk tales. Weaving ancient stories with contemporary musings, expertly delivered in Welsh and English.

He has previously worked extensively in the media in Wales and across Britain, from gigging in dingy comedy clubs to starring in and writing on shows for the BBC, ITV and S4C.

Their large, spacious cafe will serve tea, barista coffee, lovely cakes, tasty sandwiches, freshly made salads and daily specials over the weekend of Craft Festival.
