A family day of arts, nature and theatre will mark the arrival of summer.
Midsummer Revels returns for a second year on June 21, bringing a free day-long celebration to the Llandrindod Lake Amphitheatre.
The event is designed to help people of all ages reconnect with the outdoors through creativity and play.
Jemma Thomas, festival project manager, said: "Midsummer Revels is really an invitation to slow down and reconnect, with nature, with creativity and with one another.
"We wanted to create a low-pressure day where people could simply turn up, explore, join in if they wish, and enjoy spending time outdoors together.
"The Tempest feels like the perfect culmination to the day.
"It's a story full of wonder, magic and transformation, and there is something very special about experiencing theatre outdoors, surrounded by the landscape."
The festival ends with a 2.30pm open-air performance of Shakespeare’s The Tempest by the Willow Globe Theatre Company.
This family-friendly adaptation promises shipwrecks, spirits and adventure, all set against the backdrop of the lakeside setting.
Visitors can enjoy hands-on workshops and nature activities throughout the morning and early afternoon.
Participating organisations include Celf o Gwmpas, Radnorshire Wildlife Trust and Panic Circus.
The festival encourages people to drop in and stay as long as they like, with space to play, create, and picnic in a relaxed atmosphere.
Midsummer Revels stems from a long-standing partnership between Shakespeare Link and Radnorshire Wildlife Trust.
Both organisations wanted to develop an event celebrating creativity and the environment.
Shakespeare Link, known for exploring connections between theatre and landscape, saw the collaboration as a natural fit.
The first Midsummer Revels was held in 2025 at Pentwyn Farm and drew visitors from across Powys.
Building on that success, this year’s festival moves to Llandrindod Lake to make use of its natural amphitheatre setting.
The event is free to attend thanks to funding from the Community Foundation Wales, Ashley Family Foundation, Gibbs Trust, and the players of People’s Postcode Lottery through the Postcode Community Trust.
Activities run from 10.30am to 2.30pm, followed by The Tempest performance at 2.30pm.
The Willow Globe Theatre Company’s open-air staging will round off a day of creativity, exploration and community under the midsummer sun.
Organisers hope the event will inspire people to spend more time outdoors, and to see the arts and the environment as deeply connected.
