North East Wales does not close in winter (not like everyone thinks). There are some great events that happen within the orange trees and falling leaves. From food festivals, mythical family festivals and some fun filled exercise events, you’ll be foolish to think that our corner of North Wales closes in Autumn.
Mythfest: Family Festival
Join this 3-hour magical, outdoor adventure, immersing families in storytelling, music and natural crafts with local mythological creatures from the wild waters of North East Wales. This immersive, storytelling and crafting event will combine outdoor theatre and forest school techniques and introduce you to some of our colourful characters and creatures from North East Wales mythological past.
Date of event: Sunday 16th September (Clocaenog Forest) , Sunday 30th September (Northop)
