About Ffoto Cymru 2026

Ffoto Cymru is Wales’ international photography festival, bringing together artists, photographers, communities and audiences across the country for a month-long celebration of contemporary photography and image-making.

Taking place from 2–31 October 2026 across 17+ locations throughout Wales, Ffoto Cymru 2026 will bring together exhibitions, events, talks, workshops and opportunities to connect with photography in new and unexpected ways.

There’s More to Life

This year’s festival explores the theme There’s More to Life — an invitation to look beyond the everyday pressures of productivity, progress and constant acceleration, and to consider different ways of being, creating and connecting.

Through photography, Ffoto Cymru 2026 explores the possibilities of alternative futures: ways of working and living that value care, curiosity, creativity, community and imagination. The festival asks how we might make space for play, reflection, belonging and new perspectives in a changing world.

Bringing together artists from Wales and beyond, Ffoto Cymru celebrates photography as a tool for storytelling, questioning and imagining — creating spaces where different experiences, ideas and conversations can come together.

Join us throughout October 2026 as we explore the images, ideas and possibilities that remind us: There’s more to life.
