Wales
Fire in the Mountain
The Fire in the Mountain is rekindled and its warm glow casts light over the valley of change – Cwmnewidion. Red kites soar above lush green ravines, with oak grove and wild meadow below. Located between the fringe of the magnificent Cambrian mountains and the beautiful coast of Cardigan bay, where hare and horse graze, with nature’s spirits ebbing and flowing. Bringing this ancient kingdom alive once again in another magical gathering of hearts, minds, and music.

World music – World food – World love
Kaya launched in 2012 as a new music festival set overlooking the Snowdonia National Park offering an assortment of African, Jamaican, Caribbean and world musical flavours along with a diverse range of workshops, food stalls and festival activities. The festival did suffer from teething problems, particularly where provision families was concerned, although if they work on the issues raised this could be a real little gem of a festival with a unique atmosphere and culture – read the reviews for more information.
Highlights for families/kids:
There is the Kultural Fusion Kids Zone which features a circus tent where you can find workshops, arty fun, a solar cinema and face painting. Learn to juggle, take a walk through the woodland art trail, make your own fancy dress.

Small Nations Festival
Future events unknown
Size: a small and intimate 1500
Location: a gorgeous spot nestled in the Welsh countryside
UPDATE
UPDATE FROM THE ORGANISERS: “Unfortunately, due to increasing financial problems and difficulties securing funding, we have had to make the heart-wrenching decision not to hold Small Nations in 2012. We will continue to work hard on the issues at hand and look to the future. Our emphasis is now on keeping the community spirit of Small Nations alive through gigs, parties, events and popping up at other festivals during the year.
Many thanks for all your support,
The Directors – Small Nations Music LTD.”
