Gwyl Prydain, A calendar of events in Wales, programmeThe Festival of Britain was a national event, with activities taking place all over the country. There were two major exhibitions outside of London: the Industrial Power Exhibition in Glasgow and the Farm and Factory Exhibition in Belfast. The Festival ship, Campania, travelled around the coast visiting British ports while the Land Travelling Exhibition took 5,000 exhibits to Manchester, Leeds, Birmingham and Nottingham. Many towns and villages marked the occasion of the Festival in some way. Established events, such as the Welsh Eisteddfod, were also tied to the Festival.
