This International Women’s Day ‘Y Lle Da/The Good Place Festival’ which returns to Tenby this month - proudly celebrates the women at the heart of its vision, from its all-female leadership team to the exceptional Welsh female artists shaping this year’s programme.

Returning to Tenby on March 27–28 for its second year, Y Lle Da continues to grow as a vibrant, bilingual celebration of creativity, culture and community. But at its core is something particularly powerful: women leading the way.

The festival is steered by an all-female team of Co-Directors - Rhiannon Morgan-Bell, Naomi Chiffi and Chloe Barnes - plus festival co-ordinators Julie Jones, Anwen Walters and Saoli Salmon who together, are building a festival rooted in collaboration, care and creative ambition.

“We were really proud of what we achieved in year one,” said Rhiannon.

“It showed us how important it is for people to come together in joyful creative spaces - celebrating the Welsh language and our brilliant artists.”

Naomi added: “Year two is about deepening those connections - between artists and audiences, while also looking ahead to the National Eisteddfod coming to Pembrokeshire in August. Y Lle Da is growing, but it remains rooted in community.”

This year’s programme features an inspiring line-up of Welsh female artists who continue to shape the country’s creative landscape.

Highlights include:

• Hannah Grace - Her cover of Fatboy Slim’s “Praise You” was featured in the Lancôme advert starring Julia Roberts, helping bring her haunting version to a global audience.

• Aisha Kigs - Cardiff pop/R&B artist Aisha Kigs is a rising singer-songwriter known for her powerful vocals and genre-blending sound.

• Bau Cat - Raw, high-energy, female-led performances.

• Jodie Marie - A pure talent emerging from Pembrokeshire.

The festival also champions emerging Welsh female creatives, with workshops by Clare Winn-Jones and Diana Brook and panels featuring leading authors like former Children’s Laureate Eloise Williams, sparking conversations on creativity, representation, and women’s careers in the arts.

On International Women’s Day, the festival organisers celebrate women leading with vision, inclusivity, and cultural pride, creating space for performance, participation, and connection.

Y Lle Da is a testament to Welsh women as leaders, artists, and storytellers.
