“Welsh language, heritage, arts, and enjoyment” are the three words to describe Menter Iaith Sir Ddinbych\u2019s contribution to this year\u2019s Denbigh Open Doors weekend.<\/p>\n\n

Over 100 people and children attended Lego workshops at Dolbelydr, Trefnant, and the one-man performances about Thomas Pennant in the Evan Pierce Gardens, near Vale Street, Denbigh.<\/p>\n\n

Thanks to the successful collaboration with the Landmark Trust, the Mewn Cymeriad production company, and Denbigh Town Council; Menter Iaith Sir Ddinbych is proud to offer Welsh-language events rooted in the area’s historic heritage.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cMarking the 300th anniversary of the birth of Thomas Pennant; one of 18th-century Wales’ most notable figures; was a wonderful way to attract people to Denbigh,\u201d explains Ruth Williams, Chief Officer of Menter Iaith Sir Ddinbych. <\/p>\n\n

\u201cAs a partner, it is great to be able to promote and collaborate with the \u2018Open Doors\u2019 volunteer group to support and strengthen the Welsh-language provision available to local residents and visitors to the town\u2019s Open Doors weekend.<\/p>\n\n

Dolbelydr, the 16th-century historic house in Trefnant, where Henry Salesbury wrote the first ever Welsh grammatical book; was full of fun and excitement over the weekend. Children had the opportunity to see the building, learn more about Dolbelydr\u2019s significance as the birthplace of the modern Welsh language, and recreate the house using Lego.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cIt was my first time visiting Dolbelydr,\u201d explained Erin Aled, Community Development Officer for Menter Iaith Sir Ddinbych.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cFor me as an adult, it was a privilege to be in a location so important to our country\u2019s Welsh identity. Sharing that enthusiasm in Denbighshire with the children during the Lego workshop was a highly effective way of sharing important historical knowledge with the next generation in a fun pro-active way.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
