“An annual weekend of music, book readings and poetry inspires much talking and drinking late into the night, a beacon of chaos in an over-organised world of festivals.”
Tracey Thorn in The New Statesman
The Laugharne Weekend is an annual literary and arts festival in West Wales.
The festival is held in the spring in the town of Laugharne.
Dylan Thomas, Laugharne’s most famous inhabitant, described it as a
“timeless, mild, beguiling island of a town.”
The festival is deliberately small-scale. The size of the town – which itself is very small – ensures that the festival will not grow beyond certain bounds. Its location means that festival visitors and townspeople rub shoulders with the artists and performers.
