Caerleon Festival

Spanning nine days from 8th - 17th July, Caerleon Summer Festival encompasses many different themes, from film to music, sculpture to art, there is something for everyone.

Then, on the weekend of the 16th - 17th July, the main events of the festival kick off properly at Hanbury fields as everyone comes together. So whatever your wish, watching Shakespeare in the Ampitheatre, relaxing with a burger whilst watching music or checking out a wide variety of art and sculptures, you will be accommodated!

Many of the events are held in the beautiful setting of the Roman Ampitheatre, such as the showing of The Life of Brian on the 8th and the performance of The Taming of the Shrew on the 15th. For a full listing of events, visit the website and view the 'News and Events' page.
