Gŵyl Wal Goch

Home » Projects » Gŵyl Wal Goch

Along with Tim Hartley I founded Gŵyl Wal Goch as a community benefit society in 2019 with the aim of pulling people together to explore and share ways of further using football as a force for social good in Wales and beyond.

The Festival’s mantra is:

by fans, for fans

Every year the Festival takes place in Wrexham, the cradle of Welsh football, and with our creative partners bak we have grown the Festival to be the elading Festival of football fan culture.

Previous festivals have featured:

David Conn (The Guardian), Gruff Rhys, Neville Southall, Ian Rush, Smari Gunn, Rebecca Watson, Brian Flynn, Kit Holden, Evrah Rose, Mark Coverdale, Dr Gayle Rogers, Paul Watson, Dr Pete Watson, Robert Earnshaw, Jesse Marsch, 11mm Film Festival, Fundacion de Sociedad, Barry Horne, Dr Penny Miles, Javiera Court, Peris Hatton, Lisa O’Hare, Dafydd Iwan, Gary Slaymaker,
