A music festival for the Deaf and hard of hearing will take place this month at a field just outside Cardigan.

The fifth Celtic Deaf Festival, a celebration of music and inclusivity, will take place from August 31 to September 1 at Penparc, Cardigan.

The unique festival ensures that everyone, regardless of their hearing ability, can enjoy the magic of music and the arts. All performances will be in British Sign Language, allowing deaf and hard-of-hearing attendees to fully immerse themselves in the music.

The festival’s diverse line up features fabulous stars including Ro Pound Clarke, a deaf-blind sign-song performer who will bring her unique talent to Wales after recently performing at a well-known international Deaf film and arts festival.

There will also be a Deaf rave, fire juggling from the Pyro Pixies, circus tricks for all from Terry’s Circus Skills, Deaf Mimo, tarot reading and a fun rodeo ride.

This year the festival is diving deeper into the world of BSL and Deaf culture through engaging workshops and interactive sessions. Atendees can learn the heart of BSL and BSL music interpretation and meet the talented performers who bring it to life.

The festival is exclusively for the Deaf community and for those who communicate in BSL (British Sign Language) with their friends and families.

However, this year Cardigan locals can attend to take part in a BSL taster session on Saturday August 31 from 1pmto 3pm. Tickets cost £5 for over 16 and can be purchased on the day.

“Celtic Deaf Festival is more than just a music festival; it's a platform for an unique cultural exchange and community building,” said the festival’s organisers.

“Join us in fostering a sense of unity and understanding, where music and the arts truly knows no barriers.”
