Mayfest at the Shoemakers
Launched in 2024, this is a unique festival based around the Shoemakers Arms, a community-owned pub in Pentre-bach, a short drive from Brecon along the A40.
Always over the Saturday and Sunday of the late May Bank Holiday, we aim to provide a warm welcome for all, with music for all tastes, great beers and summer drinks, barbeque and stuff for the kids too.
Hightlights - May Fest 2025
It's a free festival with free parking in a nearby field. Another field serves as campsite - £10 for the weekend.
In 2025 year we hosted guest performers from Capetown, South Africa (Julian Wenn) as well as much closer to home. A proper Welsh flavour was provided by the always wonderful Llandovery Male Voice Choir.
The full 2025 line-up is still on this page, while we confirm the 2026 line-up. Follow the updates on our Facebook page
For accommodation, there are lots of lovely B&Bs and hotels in the area, if you don't fancy the camping.
