TIMETABLE AMSERLEN
Our festival of music and dance takes place in the glorious parkland that surrounds Tredegar Park House, a National Trust gem just two minutes off Junction 28 of the M4 at Newport in South Wales.
There are huge ticketed music concerts on each day - Friday, Saturday and Sunday - plus ticketed ceilidhs on Friday and Saturday. There are also dozens of FREE dance displays, open mics, workshops and music sessions plus a huge FREE music concert on Saturday day. All this, plus a brilliant farmers’ market on Saturday and Sunday, and a children’s performer (plus loads of parking) makes the festival a wonderful family weekend.
PLAN YOUR WEEKEND: WHO’S ON WHEN
Here’s a guide to our music offerings over Friday, Saturday and Sunday. As you are now aware, Barbara Dickson is ill and cannot appear at our Sunday concert. She is replaced by the wonderful Show Of Hands. Concert times might be subject to slight change, so keep checking back. Times for our dance displays will be in our printed programme available on-site. You’ll see that our main-marquee ticketed concerts sometimes take place at the same time as the ceilidhs in our second marquee, but if you have a full weekend ticket you get access to everything so you can hop in and out of stuff. Otherwise, individual event tickets are only valid for that particular event. Of course, free events are open to all (space permitting).
Llwyfennir ein gŵyl ym mharcdiroedd godidog Tŷ Tredegar, perl yn eiddo’r Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol sy’n sefyll prin 2 funud o gyffordd 28 o’r M4 yn Ne Cymru.
Cynhelir cyngherddau mawreddog (mynediad trwy docyn) bob dydd – Gwener, Sadwrn a Sul – ac hefyd twmpathau (mynediad trwy docyn eto) nos Wener a nos Sadwrn. Bydd dwsinau o arddangosfeydd dawnsio AM DDIM; sesiynau meic agored; gweithdai a sesiynau cerddorol a chyngerdd gerddorol AM DDIM ar brynhawn Sadwrn. Gyda hyn oll ac hefyd marchnad ffermwyr ar ddydd Sadwrn a dydd Sul yn ogystal â pherfformiwr i‘r plant a digonedd o lefydd parcio mae’r ŵyl yn addo bod yn benwythnos hyfryd i bob teulu.
CYNLLUNIO AR GYFER Y PENWYTHNOS:
PWY, PRYD A BLE?
Dyma grynodeb o’r eitemau cerddorol ar ddyd Gwener, Sadwrn a Sul. Mae’n ddrwg iawn gennym dweud bod Barbara Dickson yn sâl o hyd ac felly fydd hi’n methu perfformio yn yr wŷl. Show Of Hands, un o’r deuawdau gorau yn hanes gwerin cyfoes, sydd wedi dod i’r adwy i arian ein cyngerdd dydd Sul. Mae’n bosibl y bydd ambell i newid, felly cadwch lygad ar y dudalen hon. Cyhoeddir yr amserlen dawns yn ein rhaglen fydd ar gael dros y penwythnos. Fe welwch chi y bydd ein cyngherddau cerddorol yn y brif babell ymlaen yr un pryd ag ambell un o’r twmpathau yn yr ail babell, ond gallwch chi symud mewn a mas os prynwch chi docyn penwythnos llawn. Fel arall, mae tocynnau unigol yn ddilys dim ond am y digwyddiadau penodol. Wrth gwrs, bydd y digwyddiadau di-dâl yn agored i bawb (os bydd lle).

The entire weekend is dedicated to the memory of Marcus Butler, founder member of Tredegar House Folk Festival and creator of Marcus Music, whose wonderful, magical workshop overlooks the festival site.
Marcus passed away in November, just months before the 40th anniversary of his business creating beautiful concertinas and drums and providing a beacon of excellence in the folk world. Besides the works of art he crafted, Marcus served the needs of re-enactment groups and provided a repair service for all kinds of folk instruments.
This photo, taken by Nick Treharne in 2016, shows Marcus with his other great love. He was station master at Pontypool and Blaenavon Railway. They, and we, are the poorer for his passing. He was a true gentleman, respected, admired and loved by all. Sleep well, old friend.
Trefnir y penwythnos er cof am Marcus Butler, sylfaenydd Gŵyl Werin Tŷ Tredegar a Marcus Music, gyda’i weithdy hudolus yn edrych dros safle’r ŵyl.
Bu farw Marcus ym mis Tachwedd, ychydig fisoedd cyn 40fed penblwydd sefydlu’r busnes a greodd consertinau a drymiau a dangosodd rhagoriaeth ei grefft i’r byd gwerin. Ar ben hyn oll, bodlonodd anghenion grwpiau ail-greu hanes ac atgyweiriodd bob math o offerynau gwerin.
Tynnwyd y lllun uchod gan Nick Treharne yn 2016, ac mae’n dangos Marcus yn dilyn ei gariad arall. Roedd e’n orsaf-feistr rheilffordd Pont-y-pŵl a Blaenafon. Byddan nhw – fel ninnau – yn gweld ei golled yn fawr. Roedd e’n ŵr bonheddig a barchwyd, edmygwyd a charwyd gan bawb. Cygwch yn dawel, hen gyfaill.
