The Eisteddfod, the major cultural festival held annually in Wales, will be a significant venue for Quaker outreach this summer. The subject of spreading the Quaker message was one of the main themes covered when thirty-one Friends from the cities, villages and valleys across Wales met in June at Newtown.

The meeting confirmed that Quakers will have a presence at the Eisteddfod in both the Cytun (Churches Together) tent and the Peace tent as part of a broader outreach agenda. Outreach Week posters are being translated into Welsh and Catherine James has been approached by S4C about making a film about Spiritual Journeys entitled ‘Y Daith’, based upon the Quaker trail around the Dolgellau area which Catherine was instrumental in setting up.
