Coblyn
Down at the bottom of the garden, between the toadstools and the wonky pond, the Coblynnod live... an unruly gang of magical gnomes, causing chaos and mischief! One day they stumble across a stranger covered in coal dust, but who is he and where did he come from? Can you help them on their curious quest to uncover the truth?
A family-friendly celebration of Welsh folklore, bursting with mythical mayhem, curious creatures, music, songs and folk dance! Brought to you by Kitsch & Sync Collective, Hijinx and Theatr Iolo.
This is a highly visual show that includes some Welsh language, but it is suitable for Welsh Learners and non-Welsh speakers. A guided Touch Tour and live Audio Description will also be available in English or Welsh at every performance.
Performances are free and will take place outside Chapter in Canton. If the weather is extremely poor on that day, performances will be moved inside to the Seligman Studio at Chapter. Space is limited so we suggest arriving a little earlier than the times above. Due to the nature of the piece, we unfortunately cannot guarantee entry. If you have any access needs, please let us know in advance by emailing hello@theatiolo.com
COBLYN is brought to you by Kitsch & Sync Collective, Hijinx and Theatr Iolo, with thanks to the Welsh Government St Davids Day Fund and our co-commissioners, Awen Cultural Trust, Gwyl Fach y Fro, The National Eisteddfod and Tafwyl.

FREE Family Folk Dance Workshops
February Half Term
Common Room at Chapter in Cardiff
Tuesday 17, Wednesday 18 and Thursday 19 February
10.30am – 12pm | 1pm – 2.30pm
In this fun dance workshop, your family will learn a variety of folk dancing elements including learning a full Welsh traditional folk dance called Aberdaugleddau and taken part in your very own Twmpath.
Our workshop facilitator for these sessions is a Welsh speaker, and all sessions will be run bilingually.
When booking, you must have a ticket for each child and adult attending. If you can no longer make it, please contact Chapter to cancel your tickets, so another family can attend in your place.
Each session lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes. Please wear comfortable clothing and shoes / trainers. We will have regular breaks, but it would be helpful if everyone can bring a water bottle with them, as this is an active workshop.
Age Guidance: Children aged 7+ and their adults. Younger children are welcome, but we kindly ask you to think carefully about whether they would become restless during the workshop and how you would take care of your whole family's needs. Please note that this is a family workshop and parents / carers cannot leave children alone. We recommend a ratio of at least 1 adult to 4 children.
