A free three-day pre-Christmas festival in the colourful Carmarthenshire market town of Llandeilo, with a food hall, street food, crafts and its independent shops.

Gŵyl y Synhwyrau, Llandeilo's Festival of Senses, is a free weekend festival in mid-November that kicks off Christmas shopping in the Tywi valley. It is run on a not-for-profit basis by local volunteers.

The festival brings together the town's independent shops, galleries and cafés with street food, a food hall, interiors and crafts from local artists, designers and food producers, plus activities and entertainment for families. The organisers put an emphasis on Welsh culture and local makers.

For something more traditional the same week, the National Trust's Dinefwr Christmas Fair is held just outside the town the following weekend.
