St David’s Day, Sunday 1 March 2026
National Botanic Garden of Wales
10am – 4pm
Join us this St David’s Day for The Little Things Festival, inspired by Dewi Sant’s powerful final sermon, which urged us to appreciate the small but meaningful joys in life.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the National Botanic Garden of Wales, this vibrant, bilingual celebration brings Welsh culture to life through a day of discovery, creativity and connection.
Follow an interactive trail winding through the garden, uncovering hidden delights at every turn. Enjoy live musical performances across both the main stage and more intimate spaces throughout the site, and take part in hands-on workshops exploring performance, nature and craft. From music to making, every corner of the festival invites you to pause, explore and celebrate what makes Welsh culture so special.
Musical performances will feature exciting emerging artists from BBC Horizons/Gorwelion, Wales’ premier scheme for developing contemporary music talent. These rising stars represent the future of Welsh music, bringing fresh sounds and energy to the garden throughout the day.
We’re also delighted to welcome visual artist Nathan Wyburn, who will be in residence throughout February, creating ten artworks of Welsh icons using unexpected and surprising materials. His work perfectly reflects the festival’s theme, transforming humble, everyday materials into striking large-scale art.
On 1 March, visitors will be able to watch Nathan work live on his final masterpiece throughout the day. His creative process – turning little things into something magnificent – sits at the very heart of the festival.
