Mari Lwyd yn Dinefwr | Mari Lwyd at Dinefwr
Yn ôl eleni i greu drygioni yn Dinefwr **** One of the most well-known Welsh customs is the Mari Lwyd, meaning 'Grey Mare', a horse-figure carried from door to door by wassail-singing groups she'll be causing mischief again this year.
- Booking not needed
- Free event
Join us for a warming drink, music, and a mischievous Mari. When Mari and her group get to Newton House, they will sing Welsh language songs or wassails, and indulge in a ritual called pwnco: an exchange of rude rhymes with the person who lives there. If the Mari and her gang get entry, the household is said to have good luck for the year. The Mari is well-known to be mischievous – trying to steal things and the chase people she likes – as she goes about her bidding. Join for mischief and fun!
