We travelled to Portmeirion in North Wales to attend Festival Number 6 with the Tree4Hope – what an extraordinary place! I wouldn’t be surprised if strange ritualistic ceremonies are held in this disney-esque village. Now that I think about it, I had a strange fear of being trapped. Must watch The Prisoner series from the 60s I think…
Welcome to Festival Number 6!
The Tree4Hope on tour through the eccentric Welsh village of Portmeirion.
Portmeirion was designed and built by a quirky millionaire in the 1920's who had fallen in love with Portofino in Italy.
Festival Number 6 took over the charming Welsh villiage which was also home to the cult 60's TV series, The Prisoner.

Dancing above us in the sky.
So long Portmeirion and Festival Number 6! (As they bid farewell in The Prisoner) Be seeing you...

Such a great way of thinking! Another lovely poem from an old book found in a Portmeirion charity shop.
