Welsh Government
The Welsh Government’s Major Events Unit is responsible for managing the development and delivery of policy on major events, including the implementation of Event Wales – our 10 year major events strategy. We work closely with partners across the public, private and third sectors in Wales, the UK and internationally. With our support, Wales has successfully hosted and attracted some of the world’s biggest and most prestigious sporting events including: the Ashes; Senior Open Championship; Rugby World Cup; World Half Marathon Championships; UEFA Champions League Final; and Volvo Ocean Race. We also support a thriving portfolio of arts and cultural events, such as: Hay Festival; Machynlleth Comedy Festival and Festival No 6.
