Prestigious is hardly the word for it – this world class festival is so highly regarded it has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize (in 2004). Each year the small town of Llangollen welcomes thousands of competitors and visitors from across the world to participate in and to enjoy a diverse mix of competitions, celebrating the best of world music and dance. There is everything in the competitive day sessions from barbershop choruses to choreographed folk dance to junior children's choirs. Then, in the evening, the Royal International Pavilion hosts some of the best known names in music.
