A live theatre festival will be taking place in Llandovery in September.

The Heart of Wales Fringe Festival – Gŵyl Ymylol will be hosted in the Carmarthenshire market town on Saturday, September 28.

The festival will feature a variety of brand new 15 minute theatre productions created by Welsh writers and theatre makers.

These will be performed in non-theatrical venues throughout Llandovery, including a car showroom, a pub beer garden, a fish and chip shop, and the castle ruins.

Luke Bailey, one of the festival organisers, said: "The festival has been designed to engage seasoned theatre-goers and theatre first timers alike.

"The unusual venues will play host to performances designed solely for them.

"There will be five brand-new, one-act, plays commissioned specifically for the festival."

Ella Peel, also an organiser, added: "Our aim of the theatre festival is to showcase the stunning tourist destination of Llandovery, my hometown, to visitors in fresh and inventive ways.

"We hope the event will also challenge locals to engage with the community, their home, their nation, and the arts in powerful new ways."

The festival will also include free adult masterclasses, children's workshops, post-show discussions, street performances, and stalls.

A paid shadow scheme will be offered to a resident interested in an arts career, allowing them to assist one of the directors during their rehearsal period.

The festival will see at least 30 per cent of those involved coming from within 30 miles of Llandovery.

The festival is funded by the UK Government and supported by Carmarthenshire County Council.

Full details of the performances will be shared on the festival's social media pages in the lead-up to the event.
