The Beginning Festival this year celebrates ten years of the Birthplace being open to the public so please come along and help us celebrate two birthdays – ours and Dylan’s 104th!

Saturday 20th October until Christmas Ammanford artist Cara Gibson’s new exhibition Buttermilk and Whippets opens at the iconic Birthplace. Her first exhibition was two years ago at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay and this autumn it’s a specially created exhibition drawing on the work and life of Dylan. Drop in between 10.30am and 4.00pm on Saturday 20th October to view and have a nibble or two and don’t be afraid to ask the origin of the title!
Free entry on launch day. Further information 01792 472555
PS Tell us how Cara picked the title and you might get another glass of bubbly!

Thursday 25th October The US Beat Poet Laureate rocked up to the Birthplace a few years ago and vowed to return. Come and listen to the parlour rock as much travelled San Diego poet Chris Vannoy and his compatriote Rayn Roberts entertain with their own brand of the spoken word.

6.30pm for 7.00pm
