Festivals & events

Llanwrtyd Wells is the home of several outdoor pursuit events including Bog Snorkelling, the Man versus Horse Marathon, and the Real Ale Wobble.

The first Man versus Horse Race, took place in 1980 in order to settle an argument between the landlord of the Neuadd Arms and the local huntsman about whether a man or a horse would be faster running over mountainous terrain. A series of further new events were organised throughout the 1980s, many of which are now permanent fixtures in the Green Events’ calendar.

If you want to find out what events are going on this year, visit the Green Events website which will give you all of the information you need.

The Royal Welsh Showground, held in the nearby picturesque market town of Builth Wells, hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including the Royal Welsh Agricultural Show, antiques fairs and dog shows.
