THE North Wales Choir Festival will be back in Venue Cymru next year.

The festival, which will replace the North Wales Choral Festival, will return in Llandudno between March 5 and 6 2022.

It will move from the Autumn to incorporate a St David’s Day celebration as part of the event.

A spokesperson from Conwy County Borough Council said: "Saturday and Sunday will continue with competitions during the day and the much loved Festival Celebration Concert on Saturday evening. The competition categories are Male Voice, Youth, and Mixed Choirs on Saturday, followed by Barbershop, Just for Fun, and Ladies Choirs on the Sunday.

"The Festival Celebration Concert on Saturday evening is where choirs can perform without worrying about the watchful eye of the adjudicators.

"We are very excited about the new element, celebrating national St David’s Day as well as the Choir Festival, full of culture and passion, and hope previous choirs as well as new ones will join them."

Conwy County Borough Council is organising the festival.

Final timings for each category will be confirmed on the website on February 18 2022.
