2026 is the 39th annual Radyr & Morganstown Festival and is being held in aid of City Hospice.
The Festival started with the Fete on Saturday 2nd May. After anxiously looking at the weather forecasts all week we went ahead with the Fete and the weather remained kind. The bar and BBQ were in full swing and the performances of the primary aged children were excellent including maypole dancing. There were around 25 stalls.
On Saturday evening there was a concert organised by Rotary in Christ Church performed by the Castell Coch Choral Society. They performed a wide variety of pieces which were well received by the audience.
Sunday afternoon was the History Society walk to Cathays Cemetery. We learnt about saw a number of the graves including the 14 year old balloon girl who died on her first parachute jump. On Sunday evening we had the Civic Service attended by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff and the Lady Mayoress, joined by our MP, County Councillors and Mark Drakeford. This was followed by a reception provided by the Community Council.
Over the first three days there was an art exhibition in the Methodist Hall which was very well attended.
