Here is the Events category section on our Calon Lan Centre page. This section is the place to find information on all our Calon Lan Centre events – past, present and future. It’s a great way to stay in touch with our journey.
The Calon Lan Centre calendar is increasingly filled with great events. Choirs frequently book the centre for recitals, using the acoustically perfect chapel. The centre is host to many small events and festivals, and of course makes a wonderful wedding venue.
Additionally, 2020 sees the centenary of the passing of Daniel James, who rests in the grounds of Mynyddbach Chapel. The Calon Lan Centre intends to host a literary festival, with the inclusion of many culturally significant Welsh artists. Watch this space for more information!
Finally, the centre is the home of a faithful community of chapel goers, who have met and enjoyed the chapel for many years. As you can see, there is life in abundance at the Calon Lan Centre, and may there be much more to come!
