The Radyr & Morganstown Association (RMA) have been thinking about how we might still organise some form of Festival in 2020 whilst working within the current restrictions. We are planning a ‘Mini Autumn Festival’. It will start on Friday 18 September and run for a week or so. All events will either be outside (with appropriate ‘social distancing’) or held online.

As part of the 2016 Festival which celebrated the centenary of Roald Dahl’s birth, the Radyr & Morganstown Association (RMA) organised a successful Junk Challenge based on the characters from his novels.
The Association is organising a similar challenge to coincide with their Autumn Festival in 2020.

Once entries have closed on 10 September 14 September we will produce a map and some suggested walking routes around the village. Entries will be on display, visible from the pavement and footpaths, why not take a walk around the village to view them all.
