Free afternoon celebrating Santes Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers, with harp performance, storytelling, cwtch crafts and lap harp 'have a go' sessions.
Santes Dwynwen Sunday takes over the National Waterfront Museum on Sunday 24 January, from 12:00 to 15:30. The whole afternoon is built around Santes Dwynwen, the Welsh patron saint of lovers, and the programme leans heavily on the harp, with a solo performance by Welsh harpist Shelley Fairplay at 13:30.
Around that central set, the museum runs a steady stream of things to do. Storytelling with museum storyteller Dan Mitchell happens on the hour at 12:00, 13:00 and 14:00, and cwtch crafts run alongside them at the same times. If you're more interested in playing than listening, there are lap harp 'have a go' sessions at 12:30 and 14:30, so you can try the instrument yourself rather than just watching it from the audience.
Because the storytelling and crafts repeat every hour, you don't have to be there from the start to catch them. You can drift in for a session and a story, stay for Fairplay's set, and then stick around for another round of crafts and storytelling on the other side of it. The harp is the thread that ties the afternoon together, from the performance to the chance to have a go yourself.
