We have hired the WHOLE village for the weekend, from venue, to accommodation, the chapel, and even the Manor House (for camping guests to get ready).
The Artists have been selected from the best in the World, with instructors and performers even travelling from overseas to bring you the very best workshops.
A True Festival
The Cuban Salsa ShangriLa is a true festival in as many senses as possible, with camping accommodation as standard!
Clean toilet and shower facilities are provided as standard for campers. We’ve also hired the Manor House, so anybody who requires mirrors, power points (for hair dryers, straighteners, mobile phone chargers etc) will have the perfect place to prepare themselves for the classes or evening parties.
The Venue
Nant Gwrtheyrn, or "the Nant" as it is often called, is a historic former quarrying village on the northern coast of the Llŷn Peninsula, North Wales. This picturesque village is breath taking, and has been the setting for tales of both romance and tragedy.
This gorgeous venue is home to many events, from weddings to extreme sports events. The spectacular views make an incredible setting for what is set to be an amazing event!!
Along with the views and beautiful accommodation (we'll get to that), is the licensed function hall with an amazing dancefloor!!
Noise will be no issue, as we have booked the WHOLE village, including all function rooms, the manor house, the cottages, and even the chapel! For those wishing for a bit of peace and quiet in the evenings too, don't fear, as the cottages offer plenty of sound insulation, and there is an area for quiet campers too.
