If the weather is unfavourable the concert will be held in the main hall inside the Plas and it will not be possible to use this ticket to attend the concert. The full cost of the ticket will be re-paid as a result.

A decision will be made as to where the concert is to be held as soon as possible before the event and we will contact you by email to inform you if a decision is taken to hold it inside.

A live performance of Casi Wyn's original songs under new string arrangements - specially prepared for Plas Glyn-y-Weddw's summer concert. Casi will be joined on stage by multi-instrumentalists Jordan Price and Patrick Rimes.

The pianist and composer, Gwenno Morgan, will open the evening.

A performance in our outdoor Theatre, weather permitting. An indoor concert for a smaller capacity will be held if weather is unsuitable. Priority will be given to the earliest ticket buyers.

Mole yearns for adventure, Rat adores boats and Badger likes peace and quiet. Into their lives bursts Toad who loves very fast cars and just can’t seem to help getting into trouble. But can the animals reform Toad’s character and evict the squatters from his ancestral home to restore justice to the world? Kenneth Grahame’s perennial classic is brought to the stage in Illyria’s inimitable style.

Running time (approx): 1hr 40mins (inc 20 minute interval)

Suitable for ages 5+ 

Set on board the warship HMS Pinafore, the opera cheerfully mocks such Great British institutions as Class, Patriotism and the Royal Navy. Josephine, the captain's daughter, is in love with Ralph a common sailor; but her father wants her to marry Sir Joseph Porter, First Lord of the Admiralty. The couple are caught as they elope from the ship and Ralph is locked in the ship's dungeon. Only when certain revelations are made by Buttercup, a dockside vendor, can everyone end up freely marrying their true hearts' loves.​ This comic opera gets the complete Illyria treatment, faithfully performed by a reduced cast on a beautiful nautical set.

Running time (approx): 2hrs (inc 20 minute interval)

Suitable for all ages.

Falstaff is skint. He decides his only option is to seduce the wives of two wealthy merchants. But the women are best friends, and of course they spill their hearts to each other every day... Scandalised not just that Falstaff wrote to them but that he sent them identical love-letters, they vow to play tricks on him when he comes calling. Finally, with the help of their husbands and friends, the merry wives lure him to a haunted forest and teach him a lesson he won't forget! Illyria is an intrepid band of five actors who perform Shakespeare’s plays direct from the First Folio, the most authoritative edition of Shakespeare’s plays. It’s fast, it’s polished and it’s spoken beautifully. Illyria last performed this hilarious play in 2008 and we can't wait to bring it back!

Running time (approx): 2hrs 20mins (inc 20 minute interval)

Suitable for all ages.
