Canolfan Deuluol Betws Family Centre Design Flags for New WWT Dragonfly Festival
A team of enthusiastic creatives from Canolfan Deuluol Betws Family Centre have risen to the challenge and designed a pair of festival flags that will fly high for all to see at the first-ever WWT Dragonfly Festival this summer.
Canolfan Deuluol Betws Family Centre were invited to let their imagination fly and their creative talents are now proudly displayed at the Dragonfly Festival entrance. Thousands of visitors are expected for the summer-long festival, which will celebrate the dazzling world of dragonflies and offer a brand new immersive experience in wetland nature.
Emily Evans, manager at Canolfan Deuluol Betws Family Centre, commented: “We were delighted to be asked to make flags for WWT Llanelli's Dragonfly Festival. The centre is for families with children aged 0-11 years old and we wanted to be able to make sure this collaboration had everyone's input. We cannot wait for a day trip in the summer holidays for the families to see their work on display and have a day connecting to nature and enjoying the dragonfly festival.”
Jessica Thompson, spokesperson at Llanelli Wetland Centre said: “We’re delighted that Canolfan Deuluol Betws Family Centre was able to collaborate with us and design such a fantastically unique and colourful set of flags for our very first Dragonfly Festival. We know that wetland nature provides an abundance of inspiration for creative pursuits and Llanelli Wetland Centre is home to 22 species of dragonfly. These flags not only represent the community spirit that’s here, but how much these wondrous creatures mean to us all. They will fly high with pride, so that thousands of festival-goers can enjoy them all summer.”
The WWT Dragonfly Festival is taking place until 22 September, inviting festival goers, young and young-at-heart to come together and explore the magical world of dragonflies up-close.
Uncovering the secret lives of dragonflies that dwell at Llanelli Wetland Centre, festival goers will learn that there’s more to wetlands than meets the eye. They can take an expert guided dragonfly walk, design their own dragonfly masterpiece or go pond dipping to discover the wonderful world of minibeasts. They can take part in dragonfly spotting challenges and even get stuck into giant outdoor dragonfly-themed games. There’s something for everyone, with more headline acts added to the lineup every week.
