Faenol Festival

The festival was launched in 2000 and traditionally takes place on August Bank Holiday weekend.

It includes both classical and Welsh popular music.

In 2006 the four-day festival was attended by over 35,000 people, a record figure for the event.

Cancelled in 2009, the festival was offered £250,000 of match funding over three years by the Welsh Assembly Government from 2010,[1] but was cancelled in early August 2010 because of poor ticket sales.

Scheduled headline act Westlife performed at Venue Cymru on 28 August 2010 instead.
