GWREIDDIAU (Roots) is coming to Bryn Celli Ddu on the 22 June 2024, to celebrate the 10th year anniversary of the project, through folklore, community procession and performance.

  • The first ever performance by Ancient Music Ireland of the Llyn Cerrig Bach replica instruments
  • Community procession inspired by folklore and the landscape 
  • A ritual theatre performance 
  • Opportunities to visit the current archaeological excavation trench
  • Explore the site and discover our ancient ancestor talismans
