Not Lost in Translation

Step into the heart of Welsh heritage and explore Tŷ Mawr Wybrnant, a 16th-century farmhouse nestled in the Wybrnant valley near Penmachno, Conwy North Wales. This historic home is the birthplace of Bishop William Morgan, whose 1588 translation of the Bible into Welsh - ‘Y Beibl Cyssegr-lan’ - ensured the survival of the Welsh language. Dates: 5 September - 30 October 2025.
