It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas up at Aberystwyth Arts Centre.

Not only has the annual Christmas craft fair taken up residence once again in the area outside the Great Hall, but the shows on offer in the next two weeks have a distinctly festive feel to them.

On Friday, 29 and Saturday, 30 November at 8pm, there’s Cracyrs Cabarela.

The Cabarela elves are busy rummaging through their Christmas stockings, resurrecting the crackliest of their crackers and stuffing them into one enormous cracker to burst all over you this Christmas.

You know you want to be part of the filthy frivolous festivities!
