Coblyn

Image of a red and white toadstool with the title Coblyn above it. Above the title are three gnomes dressed in brightly coloured material made from Welsh blankets.

Down at the bottom of the garden, between the toadstools and the wonky pond, the Coblynnod live... an unruly gang of magical gnomes, causing chaos and mischief! One day they stumble across a stranger covered in coal dust, but who is he and where did he come from? Can you help them on their curious quest to uncover the truth?

A family-friendly celebration of Welsh folklore, bursting with mythical mayhem, curious creatures, music, songs and folk dance! Brought to you by Kitsch & Sync Collective, Hijinx and Theatr Iolo. 

This is a highly visual show that includes some Welsh language, but it is suitable for Welsh Learners and non-Welsh speakers. A guided Touch Tour and live Audio Description will also be available in English or Welsh at every performance. 

Performances are free and will take place outside Chapter in Canton. If the weather is extremely poor on that day, performances will be moved inside to the Seligman Studio at Chapter. Space is limited so we suggest arriving a little earlier than the times above. Due to the nature of the piece, we unfortunately cannot guarantee entry. If you have any access needs, please let us know in advance by emailing hello@theatiolo.com 

COBLYN is brought to you by Kitsch & Sync Collective, Hijinx and Theatr Iolo, with thanks to the Welsh Government St Davids Day Fund and our co-commissioners, Awen Cultural Trust, Gwyl Fach y Fro, The National Eisteddfod and Tafwyl.
