A weekend of events is set to take place in Ffestiniog to promote Welsh independence.
The free event, organised by YesCymru Bro Ffestiniog, will take place at the end of the month and will include live music, guided tours, speeches, and panel discussions.
The event is part of the Nabod Cymru series organised by the pro-independence group YesCymru.
According to one of the event organisers, Hefin Jones, Ffestiniog's enthusiastic adoption of the social enterprise model can act as an "inspiration" to other communities in Wales.
The event will kick off on Friday, September 27, at 7pm with the Noson Caban, which is being held at Cellb in Blaenau Ffestiniog and will feature a talk with Plaid Cymru MP Liz Saville Roberts and a performance by the singer-songwriter Gai Toms.
Hefin Jones, YesCymru Bro Ffestiniog, said: "YesCymru Bro Ffestiniog’s members are looking forward to welcoming people from across the country to the Nabod Cymru weekend.
"We have several exciting events planned which include guided tours, panel discussions, and live music.
"As we do this we will be drawing upon Ffestiniog’s rich heritage for inspiration.
"This event is about honouring our heritage but it’s also about showing how what we’ve done in Ffestiniog to boost the local economy and promote our culture can act as an inspiration to others."
Saturday, September 28, the following morning will begin with a breakfast at Caffi Llyn (Lakeside Café) in Tanygrisiau, which will run from 8.30am to 10am.
Eventgoers will then have two guided tours to choose from, each of which will start from the café at 10am.
One is a walking tour that will take participants to Llyn Cwmorthin and the remains of the Cwmorthin slate quarry.
The other tour, for which there are 15 spaces, will take participants in three cars to the popular Antur Stiniog bike park, a non-profit social enterprise which has a severalites throughout the area.
In the evening from 8.30pm, an open mic night led by the Accordions for Independence group will be held at Gwesty Pengwern, a community-owned hotel in Llan Ffestiniog.
