Brecon cluster schools gathered in Bethel Square this morning (Monday, 2 March) to celebrate St David's Day together in the town centre.

Members of the public stood to watch and join in as pupils sang traditional welsh songs, draped in welsh flags, daffodils, bucket hats and more welsh attire.

The annual tradition sees the primary school pupils of Ysgol y Bannau, Ysgol Pont Senni, Ysgol Llanfaes, Ysgol Golwg Pen y Fan, and Priory Church in Wales School come together to sing traditional welsh songs.

A packed out Bethel Square accommodated the pupils, teachers, parents and members of the public with one onlooker exclaiming: “I didn’t know we had so many schoolchildren in Brecon!”

Brecon schools sing Calon Lân for St David's Day.

In fine voice the pupils sang traditional welsh songs at around 10.15am. They began with a rendition of Yma o Hyd followed by Hei Mistar Urdd, and then Sosban Fach, shortly followed by Calon Lân, and of course the schools ended with a performance of the Welsh National Anthem to bring their Bethel Square concert to a close.

The schools then proudly marched to Y Gaer for more singing and then onto the Market Hall in Brecon.

The event has become a yearly tradition amongst the Brecon cluster schools to celebrate St David’s Day.

To promote the event, children had designed their very own posters to display around town, enticing the public to come and join in with the sing along or watch, in the week leading up to it.
