Celebrating Celtic culture

The fourth Other Voices Cardigan event, organised by Theatr Mwldan, Triongl and South Wind Blows, took place in October 2023. 

The three-day festival celebrates Welsh and Irish musical talent and strengthens the historic cultural relationship the two countries enjoy. Audiences to festival performances have grown from 8,000 in 2019 to a sell-out of more than 11,000 in 2023.

As well as enjoying performances in diverse genres by artists from Wales, Ireland and beyond, visitors to Cardigan could also follow the town’s music trail and listen to inspiring conversations with international thinkers.
