Caerleon Arts Festival

The courtyard garden is decorated in statuary and sculptures bought and commissioned by Dr Rhys from 1990 onwards in order to create a centre for the arts in Caerleon.

The site includes a Celtic Arts & Crafts store, sculpture garden, independent restaurant, and a number of small businesses.

[1] Today Caerleon and the nearby area are surrounded by mythical-styled wood sculptures, depicting such ideas as Arthurian knights of the Round Table or Welsh Mabinogion.

[1] The present day festival continues the tradition of arts, crafts, and sculpture set by Dr Rhys, but now expands to include music, literature, dance and entertainment.

Recent developments with the festival have seen expansion with music events staged at venues including Caerleon Town Hall and St Cadocs Church.
