Wales has many rich cultural traditions and is also home to international venues that play host to some of the biggest entertainment and sporting events. Holidaying in a Welsh cottage can be a very comfortable base from which to enjoy one or more of these. Here we take a look at some of the biggest events and festivals taking place in Wales this summer.

British Speedway Grandprix – Millennium Stadium, Cardiff – 12th July

The Millennium Stadium is no stranger to action-packed sporting events, and the speedway grand prix is the pinnacle of motorcycle oval racing.

Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod – Llangollen – 8th -13th July

This celebration of choral music sees performers from all over the world compete and unite to display their talent and diverse cultural traditions.

International Snowdon Race – Snowdonia – 20th July

What could be harder than walking up the tallest mountain in Wales? Running up it. This tough endurance race sees competitors race five miles up to the summit and another five miles back down Snowdon.

Cardiff International Food and Drink Festival – Cardiff Bay – 13th July

Part of the summer-spanning Cardiff Festival, this is an eclectic event for anyone passionate about food. More than 100 stalls are accompanied by a variety of music.

National Eisteddfod of Wales – Festival Fields, Llanelli – 2nd- 10th August

The place to discover more about the culture, arts and language of Wales. The festival lasts for more than a week and includes music, theatre, literature and dance.

Green Man Festival – Glanusk Estate, Brecon Beacons – 15th- 18th August

An exciting family-friendly music festival featuring hundreds of artists within a beautiful natural setting.
