Swansea Bay Summer Festival Gw ˆ yl Haf Bae Abertawe

2011

May Mai - Sept Medi www.swanseabayfestival.com www.gwylbaeabertawe.com

Summer in Swansea

Mae'r haf yn Abertawe'n

starts here…

dechrau yma…

Whether it’s watching the Red Arrows arc across the Bay or sitting back and taking in a performance of outdoor theatre, Swansea has it covered this summer with activities in the air, sea and on the ground!

Boed yn gwylio'r Red Arrows yn gwibio ar draws y Bae neu'n eistedd nôl a gwylio perfformiad theatr awyr agored, mae popeth ar gael yn Abertawe yr haf hwn, gyda gweithgareddau yn yr awyr, ar y ddaear ac yn y môr!

From May until September, Swansea comes alive with hundreds of events. So we have put together a calendar of events so you can see what takes your fancy.

O fis Mai tan fis Medi, daw Abertawe'n fyw gyda channoedd o ddigwyddiadau.

Felly rydym wedi rhoi calendr o ddigwyddiadau ynghyd er mwyn i chi weld beth sy'n apelio atoch.

It could be a relaxing stroll in one of our parks, an exhibition at a museum or gallery, or maybe something that gets your heart-rate going like the Admiral Swansea Bay 10k.

Gallai fod yn dro hamddenol yn un o'n parciau, arddangosfa mewn amgueddfa neu oriel neu efallai rhywbeth sy'n peri i'ch calon gyflymu fel Ras 10k Bae Abertawe Admiral.

We’ve included as much detail as we can here, but there is so much to tell you about. So don’t forget to take a look at our website www.swanseabayfestival.com for the latest information.

Rydym wedi ceisio cynnwys cynifer o fanylion â phosib, ond gall fod yn anodd am fod cymaint o bethau'n digwydd.

Felly peidiwch ag anghofio cael cipolwg ar ein gwefan www.gwylbaeabertawe.com ar gyfer yr wybodaeth ddiweddaraf.

A breath of

Chwa o

fresh air…

awyr iach…

With wonderful green spaces and places to play around the Bay, Swansea has so much outdoor fun. Our trophy cabinet glistens with awards for parks and beaches, but as the saying goes, seeing is believing, so make sure you see it for yourself.

If you’re here during May, make sure you visit Clyne Gardens. An array of colour awaits you as the azaleas and rhododendrons come to full bloom. Likewise in August, Singleton Botanical Gardens get in on the act with exotic plants, herbaceous borders and some great family activities too.

For more pleasing sights Swansea Prom is situated nearby with a 5 mile stretch of sea views which you can enjoy while cycling, walking, jogging or roller blading.

But if you would rather sit back and enjoy the beauty of the Bay, take a trip on our land train, the Swansea Bay Rider. www.swanseabayfestival.com

Gyda pharciau gwych a hwyl ar draws y Bae, mae gan Abertawe ddigon o fannau awyr agored. Mae ein cabinet tlysau'n disgleirio â gwobrau ar gyfer parciau a thraethau, ond chwedl yr hen ymadrodd, a wêl a gred, felly sicrhewch eich bod yn ei gweld drosoch eich hun.

Os ydych yma yn ystod mis Mai, gwnewch yn siw ˆr eich bod yn ymweld â Gerddi Clun. Bydd gwledd o liw yn aros amdanoch wrth i'r asaleâu a'r rhododendronau flodeuo. Ym mis Awst, mae Gerddi Botaneg Singleton hefyd yn ymuno yn y sioe gyda phlanhigion egsotig, borderi llysieuol a gweithgareddau gwych i'r teulu.

Os ydych yn chwilio am ragor o olygfeydd pleserus, mae Prom Abertawe gerllaw, sef 5 milltir o olygfeydd o'r môr y gallwch eu mwynhau wrth feicio, cerdded, loncian neu sglefrolio.

Ond os yw'n well gennych eistedd yn ôl a mwynhau harddwch y Bae, ewch am dro ar drên bach y Bae. www.gwylbaeabertawe.com

The great indoors

Dan do

We can’t guarantee the weather, but if it does rain, you certainly won’t get bored.

Ni allwn warantu'r tywydd, ond gallwn eich sicrhau os bydd hi'n bwrw glaw, ni fyddwch yn diflasu.

Wonder at an ancient Egyptian Mummy at Swansea Museum, Wales’ oldest, or try the interactive displays at the National Waterfront Museum, Wales’ newest.

If you want to enjoy some music, the Brangwyn Hall has excellent acoustics and regularly hosts internationally acclaimed orchestras and some of the biggest names in contemporary music.

We don’t just have a wealth of art, history and culture waiting for you to discover. We bring the outdoors indoors with Plantasia, a tropical hothouse teeming with a variety of plants and animals.

Rhyfeddwch at Fymi Eifftaidd hynafol yn Amgueddfa Abertawe, amgueddfa hynaf Cymru, neu rhowch gynnig ar yr arddangosfeydd rhyngweithiol yn Amgueddfa Genedlaethol y Glannau, amgueddfa fwyaf newydd Cymru.

Os ydych am fwynhau cerddoriaeth, mae acwsteg ardderchog yn Neuadd Brangwyn sy'n croesawu cerddorfeydd rhyngwladol nodedig yn rheolaidd ynghyd â rhai o'r enwau mwyaf ym myd cerddoriaeth gyfoes.

Mae mwy na thoreth o gelf, hanes a diwylliant i chi eu darganfod yma. Daw'r awyr agored dan do yn Plantasia, ty ˆ poeth trofannol yn llawn planhigion ac anifieiliaid.

At your leisure

Cofiwch hamddena

If sport and leisure is what you enjoy, there’s lots on offer.

Os ydych yn chwilio am chwaraeon a hamdden, dyna'n union beth gewch chi.

It could be hiking around the Gower Peninsula, playing frisbee on the beach or a round of golf on Swansea Prom.

Find indoor leisure fun at the LC. It’s home to a waterpark, indoor surfing, a climbing wall plus a large play area for the younger visitors.

There are other leisure opportunities dotted around the city including leisure centres, gyms, cinemas, ten-pin bowling and soft play.

The more adventurous can get their thrills with archery, windsurfing, caving, wakeboarding or even flying.

Gallech heicio o gwmpas penrhyn Gw ˆyr, chwarae ffrisbi ar y traeth neu gael gêm o golff ar Brom Abertawe.

Efallai y cewch hyd i'r hyn a ddymunwch yn yr LC. Mae'n gartref i Barc Dw ˆr, syrffio dan do, wal ddringo ac ardal chwarae ryngweithiol fawr i ymwelwyr iau.

Mae cyfleoedd hamdden eraill ar draws y ddinas gan gynnwys canolfannau hamdden, campfeydd, sinemâu, bowlio deg a chwarae meddal.

Gall y rhai mwy anturus gael eu cyffroi gyda saethyddiaeth, hwylfyrddio, ogofa, tonfyrddio neu hyd yn oed hedfan.
