About the event

Midsummer Revels - A One-Day Festival of Theatre, Nature & Imagination

This summer, something magical is blossoming in the heart of Mid Wales. On 21st June, join us at Pentwyn Farm for a one-day festival where creativity meets community, and nature becomes your stage.

Whether you’re a family seeking summer adventure, a theatre-lover, or a curious wanderer, you’re invited to explore a day shaped by play, storytelling, and togetherness.  With arts and nature themed workshops, and hands-on activities for all ages, the day will culminate in a joyful open-air adaptation of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’, a midsummer celebration like no other.

Bring a blanket, your family, and your imagination – and immerse yourself in a magical day of creativity and nature in the heart of Powys.

The Day at a Glance

11:00am – 2:00pm: Creative activities, workshops, and nature-inspired happenings for all ages

2:00pm – 5:00pm: Open-air performance of ‘A Midsummer Night’s Dream’

We’re encouraging visitors to make use of our shared bus system to help reduce the number of individual car journeys to the site. Buses will run from Rhayader, Llandrindod, and the Knighton/Presteigne area, bringing you to Pentwyn and returning after the performance.

To reserve a seat on the bus, please email jemma@shakespearelink.org.ukThis helps us plan numbers and ensure everyone can travel comfortably.

The Heart of Wales Line has a station at Llanbister Road so if you’re adventurous and fancy a cross country walk to and from the event, there is a train from Llandrindod that leaves at 11:44 but if you want to see the whole of the play, there would be a wait after the end as the last return train departs Llanbister Road at 19:46.  From Knighton, there is a train departing at 10:58 which would be ideal, but the return trains are either 15:51 or 20:42.  The walk about 1.7m each way and is mostly along The Heart of Wales Line Trail.   I’ve made a rough map of the route here.

This event has been made possible by  generous funding and support from The Ashley Family Foundation,  Community Foundation Wales and The Gibbs Trust.
