@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.
@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.

The penultimate session of this year’s Festival of Ideas!

The last two sessions of the day were absolutely spectacular, Mark Drakeford delivered an impassioned analysis of Wales’ place in the world.
Followed by expert analysis of the Cost of Living crisis by Paul Mason!
We’ve been spoilt by all the speakers today!
