A Servant's Christmas | Nadolig y Forwyn

Mae hi’n fis Rhagfyr 1902 ac mae’r castell yn ferw o weithgarwch wrth i staff y gegin baratoi ar gyfer dathliadau’r Nadolig. Mae Gwen y forwyn yn brysur wrth ei gwaith ond yn methu peidio a meddwl am ei theulu nôl adref ym Methesda gyfagos. Mae ei chwaer, sy’n wraig i chwarelwr, ar drothwy trydydd blwyddyn Streic Fawr y Penrhyn, a bydd Nadolig ei theulu hithau'n wahanol iawn i’r arfer…

Ymunwch â ni am y profiad ymdrochol yma gyda’n actor preswyl i ddysgu am draddodiadau’r Nadolig yng Nghastell Penrhyn a’r gymhariaeth gyda chaledi bywyd yn ystod Streic Fawr y Penrhyn 1900-1903.

Mae hwn yn brosiect cydweithredol rhwng yr Ymddiriedolaeth Genedlaethol ac Amgueddfa Lechi Cymru, wedi ei ariannu gan Gronfa Treftadaeth y Loteri.
