A celebration of the legendary Welsh poet in his home suburb of the Uplands in Swansea. We aim to be a festival Dylan might have liked, and yes that involves beer, but it also involves cosy and atmospheric venues, great acts and the people of Swansea who first inspired him to write all those years ago.

"Do Not Go Gentle festival, in the Uplands, the lively suburb just down from Thomas's birthplace, features scabrous comedy and raucous music in English and Welsh." - SUNDAY TIMES 

"This very special festival aims to be the kind of celebration of the arts that Dylan Thomas himself would have enjoyed. The result is both entertaining and inspiring… and a warm tribute to the life and work of the great poet" THE TELEGRAPH
