What is Y Farchnad?

This year, the Senedd launched Y Farchnad, bringing together voices from across Wales to the Senedd each month. The event has a marketplace-style set-up, and takes place across both floors of the Senedd.


At Y Farchnad, you can host a stand in the heart of the Senedd; to network, meet Members of the Senedd and let your voice be heard.

Who is Y Farchnad for?

Y Farchnad is a place to discuss a range of issues, meet community groups, and bring topics to the forefront.

We welcome applications from small to large organisations, community groups and individuals trying to raise awareness of a cause or project.

Where?
