Launch Wales 2026

June 22, 2026

Hello,

DATE FOR YOUR DIARY! ⁠

Now that the dust has settled on Bovey Tracey, it’s time to get over excited and a bit giddy that we are heading back to Cardigan in September.⁠

Meet 100 of the finest makers in the spectacular setting of Cardigan Castle from September 11.13.⁠ ⁠

Craft Festival Wales is a vibrant celebration of making, supported by Visit Wales, Arts Council of Wales, leading arts organisations and businesses from Wales and beyond. ⁠

Alongside meeting the makers, visitors can enjoy The Capital of Craft LIVE, demonstrations, exhibitions, workshops, children’s activities, great food, live music, theatre, storytelling and town-wide satellite events.⁠

As well as discovering this truly magical corner of Wales.

Book your tickets now and save. 

Best wishes,
Sarah James MBE
