How exciting!If you haven’t been to one of our festivals before you are in for a treat! If you have then you know what to expect and we look forward to seeing you again!You’ll get to sample the best home-grown whiskies from Wales (obviously!), Scotland and England, as well as all corners of the globe.Simply approach any of the exhibitors stands, ask politely for a dram and you shall receive a tasty glass of whisky (it really is that simple!). Every exhibitor knows their whiskies inside out and it’s well worth taking advantage of this knowledge.We recognise that in Wales, things are done differently... and what better way to make sure we meet the needs of Welsh Whisky enthusiasts than to ask true Welsh-based Whisky Enthusiasts to help us meet the needs of the natives... which is why we have teamed up with our friends at Usk Valley Whisky & Spirit Club to guide our Cymru new adventure.Dewch i ymuno â ni yng Ngŵyl Wisgi De Cymru ym mis Ebrill 2026Sessions and ticketsWe deliberately set specific session times so the festival doesn’t get overcrowded, meaning you can sip and swallow at your own pace.Saturday 11th April 20261st Session: 12pm-3.30pm2nd Session: 5pm-8.30pmThe full session ticket, for just £50 (or less, if you get an early-bird!), includes;Entry to one session, Saturday 12pm-3.30pm or 5pm-8.30pmGlencairn tasting glassALL WHISKIES SAMPLED IN MAIN HALL (not including any 'Dream Dram Table' drams)Festival MasterclassesWatch this space for updates.
