About us

Wales Young Carers Festival is a totally free event thanks to funding from Welsh Government who recognise the amazing work of our young carers in Wales.

Held at the Builth Wells Showground every August, it is a 3 day / 2 night event with camping and all activities, entertainment, food and drink provided making it a cash-free zone.


The purpose of the festival is to give young carers a much needed and deserved break from their caring role, the chance to have fun, relax and make new friends.
