Theatre Prysor worked intensely with the communities of Llanfairfechan and Penmaenmawr culminating in the first ever Wild ponies festival in North Wales. The project came together to celebrate community, landscape, the Welsh language and local heritage.Dartmoor and Exmoor celebrate their ponies, and communities in Europe have festivals celebrating animals and tradition. We should also celebrate our unique wild ponies on the Carneddau. By celebrating the living tradition of the annual gathering of the ponies we re-enforce the relationship between farmers and the landscape, and bring the ancient spirit of the mountains down in to the towns.
