St Davids Festival of Ideas

@AngharadTudor Thanks Angharad, if you want to email us any venues you have to suggest that would be great! info@stdavidsideas.co.uk

@st_ideas Great, it would be great to arrange an in person / zoom conversation. Does that does work for you?

First minister of Wales Mark Drakeford @PrifWeinidog is giving a talk today in St David’s today, which is great, however, in order to attend you must pay a fee. Such an occasion should be accessible for all.

@AngharadTudor Thanks, if you know of a venue locally that could accommodate similar numbers for a lower price please do recommend to us. Our funding is for specific elements of the event and does not cover venue hire.

@st_ideas Thank you for replying. Considering the event is funded PCC I was shocked to see that there was a charge for to see our First Minister of Wales. If maybe the catherdral to expensive to book could the alternative not have been a venue which was cheaper?

@AngharadTudor Hi Angharad, thanks for your tweet, the festival had to hire the venue to host the FM at a cost, also we employ local people to curate, promote and support the festival. Our funding does not cover the cost of venue hire. We tried to keep the cost as small as possible.
