annually, February Half-Term    ​GWERIN GWALLGO, a residential Folk Weekend for 11-18s.
A high-energy four-day residential event for young people between 11 and 18 years of age, at Glanllyn, the Urdd Residential Centre in Bala. We offer places to approximately 40 young people. There are instrumental, vocal and clog dancing lessons during the day, followed by informal sessions, concerts, get-togethers, twmpathau and more in the evenings, with opportunities for the young people to take part in some of the fun outdoor activities which Glan-llyn has to offer, too. Towards the end of the course, there is also a chance to perform.

• Instrumental workshops: players need to have their own instrument, and be able to play at least to a basic standard. Instrumentalists are asked to tell us on the enrolment form their approximate level of experience. Ability to read music is not required, nor is experience of folk music; most of the workshops will be taught by ear.  
• Song Workshops:  open to everyone from beginners to experienced participants. No experience of folk singing is needed.  
• Dance workshops:  last year there were two clog dance classes; intermediate and advanced.
