Would you like to spend 3 nights in Lampeter speaking Welsh, learning Welsh songs, and making music with us?
Join us for a weekend of Welsh music, language, and fun! You’ll have the chance to learn Welsh songs, explore different instruments, and immerse yourself in the world of Welsh music.
We’ll be cooking, eating, meeting Welsh speakers, playing games, and making music together. On Saturday, we’ll be joined by the talented musician and singer, Iestyn Gwyn Jones. Iestyn’s previous visit was fantastic, and we’re thrilled to have him back!
Priority will initially be given to those who play an instrument and are happy to jam with others. Later, we may open this up to people who love to sing and want to join in.
If you’d like to stay, the price is £175 for three nights. To book your place, simply pay a £75 deposit now to reserve your spot.
Marcus will be running this course.
I have been learning Welsh for 6 years, and Iestyn is a fluent Welsh speaker. During the weekend, we will, of course, meet lots of Welsh speakers, and we’ll be practising Welsh together in the house throughout the weekend.

Breakfast and one other meal will be provided each day in the house for free. However, you may need a little spending money for extras while we’re out and about, as we usually enjoy one meal out.
