Tafarn y Fic – the heart of the community! #GoFullCircle

Thanks to Osian Gwyn Elis of Tafarn y Fic, which is situated on the Llyn Peninsula in Gwynedd. It sounds as though there’s a jam-packed programme of activities in store for the patrons of this community-run pub:

Tafarn y Fic, Llithfaen this year celebrates a quarter of a century of existence as a cooperative community pub, becoming the oldest in Europe – some feat for a country pub in Pen Llyn.

The Fic of course works hard to offer more than just a pub service. The aim this year is to use the back room for the first time to hold a Christmas party for the children in the village. However, the idea to hold a village children’s party in Llithfaen is not a new one. Indeed, a village children’s party has been an annual tradition since the 50s. There has been no party in recent years therefore the Fic intends to re-establish the custom. This is an example of how the Fic is willing to diversify and give the community a boost.

One of the main advantages of the Fic is that it provides free entertainment and social activities for the whole community.

The Fic Christmas Quiz will take place on 12 December this Christmas – come along and rack your brains while looking back at 2013. There will be a carol evening for the whole family on 23 December led by Seimon Menai and Anne Hafod. Boxing Day afternoon the Moniars will be ready to entertain with lively music! We will be joined by Geraint Lovegreen a’r Enw Da on Saturday 28 – an old favourite! Of course, in order to draw the year to a close in style the Fic’s house band – Cowbois Rhos Botwnnog – will present songs from the 80s on New Year’s Eve – come along in your 80s fancy dress!

Tafarn y Fic – the heart of the community!
