Laugharne
Tickets are now on sale for literary/arts festival The Laugharne Weekend 2024, which takes place in the picturesque town of Laugharne in Carmarthenshire from March 15 - 17 next Spring. The town is famous as the place where Welsh poet Dylan Thomas lived and wrote some of his best work. That's his image in the logo on this page.
Robin Ince told a story onstage about a previously Laugharne Weekend that perfectly encapsulated the spirit of this mind-bending, time-bending intimate literary and arts festival. Ince was backstage with legendary spliff-meister Howard Marks when Marks said to him: "Have I been on yet?". It's a remark that seems to sum up the blurring of lines between performance and just having a good time that is the Laugharne Weekend. Then again, it could've been the result of drugs.
A number of top comedians are lined up to appear at the Laugharne Weekend arts festival in South Wales at the end of March.
The unmissable intimate festival mixes literary events and musical events and more with artists and performers rubbing shoulders with their audiences in the small town where Dylan Thomas once lived. Tickets are almost sold out but there are still a few available. Purchase of a weekend ticket enables you to get into all events at the festival (space permitting).
It has regularly been said that the Laugharne Festival is a dream-like event. And this year’s three-day arts reverie in the small town in South Wales where Dylan Thomas used to write was no exception.
Gavin & Stacey star Ruth Jones, Adam Kay, Robin Ince, Francesca Martinez, Nick Revell and Simon Day are among the names appearing at the forthcoming Laugharne Weekend. The unique event takes place from April 7 - 9.
The Laugharne Weekend has been going for ten years and I think I’ve attempted to go for at least the last five. One year I’d even packed the car and then I looked at the weather forecast and it was so wet – it’s Wales after all – that I lost my bottle. Last year I was determined and then couldn’t get a ticket, despite appeals on their Facebook page. What I didn’t realise was that organiser Richard Thomas had mailed me saying he could sort a ticket. It had landed in my spam box and I missed it.
