About This Event

A free day of Chinese culture, crafts and performance in Swansea, marking ten years of our Chinese School. Join us at the Dylan Thomas Centre for our Mid-Autumn Festival Celebration and Chinese School Open Day. This year is extra special, as it also marks the 10th anniversary of the Confucius Institute Chinese School in Swansea. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important celebrations in the Chinese calendar, a time for families to come together under the full moon. We'd love you to come and share it with us.
