Nadolig Llawen | Merry Christmas Rhondda!


​Following on from the tremendous success of RAFT Chair, Chris Bryant MP's "Good Evening Rhondda" initiative earlier this year, which saw a mix of Rhondda residents and celebrities sharing a little culture each day to keep people's spirits up during lockdown, we've now followed that with "Nadolig Llawen | Merry Christmas Rhondda!"

Each day through December, we've released new videos of festive readings and Christmas songs, simply with the simple aim of spreading a little Christmas cheer during these challenging time. All we asked is that each video:

1) open with the words "Nadolig Llawen | Merry Christmas Rhondda" 
2) keep the videos to around two minutes in length

All the many brilliantly creative videos are included below, and can also be viewed - together with the previous Good Evening Rhondda videos - on our new YouTube channel "RAFT TV"

Be sure to also check our Facebook page and additional social media channels for the videos and the responses to them from the local community, as well as updates on our plans for RAFT 2021!

​Check back regularly for full information or contact us to express your interest in getting involved at raftfestival@gmail.com
