The Wales Festival of Architecture returns in April and May for a programme of talks, films, exhibitions and workshops on the subject of architecture, design and the environment. Venturing beyond our hub at Aberystwyth Arts Centre, the 2018 Festival reaches out to a wider audience across Wales to explore the positive impact that well-considered architecture has on people’s everyday lives and experience.
