Gwyl Werin y Bont
A tiny, bargain folk festival centred on Tafarn y Bont, the village pub of Bronant deep in rural Ceredigion, where Welsh harps and trad sessions fill the day.
A deeply rural Welsh-speaking hamlet whose single community-owned pub, Tafarn y Bont, is the whole reason to come; everything else requires a drive.
