It is good to report that the surnmer events were enjoyed by several thousand concertgoers, as well as being commercially successful. The Castle and Theatr Mwldan worked su¢¢essfully together With Illyria and No Fit State Circus to provide popular outdoor shows. As one of the venues for the Other Voices festival held in Octtjber, the Castle Pavilion was used to host the Welsb Governrnenvs official reception for recently appointed First Minister Eluned Morgan and the Irish Ambassador.

The 2023 event reached out to 46 individual crafters, makers and stsllholders which was the most populated event yet. This was also reflected in the footf￿1 with 1200 visitors attending during the day, the m&jority being from the local community, In September 2024, the Castle was delighted to work with Cardigan's own Sarah Jam¢s MBE to bring Craft Festival Wales to the site. This thTee41ay festival of displays, workshops and some ninety iDdividual craft makers selling their wares was a E￿at success. It attracted over 3,500 people throu￿ the Castle gates and the footfall benefited the whole to￿1 and bodes well for establishing this festival as the largest of its kind in Wales.
