Gŵyl Fama has developed from Gŵyl
Cilcain which began as a fundraising concert held at Capel
Gad, Cilcain on 17th October 1993 organised by musician Peryn
Clement Evans, renowned actor Meredith Edwards and members of the chapel.
In 2001 Gŵyl Cilcain’s partnership with its main sponsor, The Beaufort
Park Hotel, won a national award from Arts and Business Cymru.
In 2007 the festival was re-named ‘Gŵyl
Fama’ to better reflect its aims and widened area of
benefit.
The aim of Gŵyl Fama is to enrich the lives of people from all sectors of
the community with live music, the arts and Welsh language culture in a spirit
of friendship.
Last year a vibrant festival was held in towns and villages
around Moel Famau. This
year the Gŵyl Fama
committee have prepared a varied programme of events that will take place over
ten days. Events will be held in Cilcain, Caerwys, Hendre, Mold and Loggerheads.
The festival is funded through ticket sales, business
sponsorship, donations from the Friends of Gŵyl Fama and grant funding.
