About Bowers & Wilkins

It’s innovative, award-winning audio products are an essential element to audio entertainment whether at home or on the move. Bowers & Wilkins loudspeakers are highly regarded as the definitive “audio reference,” as demonstrated by their use in leading recording studios throughout the world including Skywalker Sound in California. The notion that remarkable sound must be experienced to be fully appreciated is reinforced by the company’s motto – ‘Listen and you’ll see.’

About The Social

In 1999 The Social opened in Little Portland Street. The brainchild of a record company whose offshoots included a hugely successful underground club night, The Social was set up with a simple manifesto – to provide great music and better booze to anyone who fancied tripping through the doors. Nearly 20 years later and still run by the original team who created it – Heavenly Recordings & The Breakfast Group – the bar is an award winning London landmark. Designed by a partnership of David Adjaye and Will Russell with a brief of withstanding nuclear attack or – at the very least – the worst that people could chuck at it. The Social has launched well over a million hugely successful hangovers.

NME AWARDS

“Festival No.6 imbues the village with Clough’s spirit and brings the
place to life in a way no other event could ever achieve. Clough would
give you five stars, and so do we.”

Robin Llywelyn

— Portmeirion —

"A festival that’s as unique as it bills itself, a beautifully put-together event in a setting to match."

The Independent

— PRESS —

"This is the coolest, most surrealist, funkiest, freakiest, best festival in the world... Can we just come back every year?"

BECK

— MUSICIAN —

"That was undoubtedly a career highlight."

Pet Shop Boys

— MUSICIAN —

"The most bijou location of any music event I've ever attended."

The Independent

"Festival No.6 could rival Montreux as the most sophisticated in Europe."

The Guardian

— PRESS —

"For six years Festival No 6 has had bills as bizarre and inventive as its location, Portmeirion, best known as the set for 1960s TV series The Prisoner."

The Times

— PRESS —

"Festival No.6 is still the oddest and most magical of the lot."

The Telegraph

— PRESS —

"The most Instagrammable festival in the UK"

Wayne Coyne, The Flaming Lips

— MUSICIAN —

"Small festivals always claim to offer something a bit different, but set in what can only be described as the magical fantasy land of Portmeirion, Festival No. 6 really does."

Marie Claire

— PRESS —

"Since its inception in 2012, Festival No. 6 has solidified its place as the left-of-centre, late-summer bash for grown ups looking to behave (kinda) badly."

Everfest

— PRESS —

"These days, with every summer Saturday filled to the brim with entertainment options jostling for attention, festivals need a USP to really stand out. And boy, does Festival No.6 deliver on that front."

Time Out

— PRESS —

"Captivating whimsy backed up by substance"

Suitcase Magazine

— PRESS —

"Festival No6's programme is nothing if not eclectic, encompassing culture, comedy and music"

Grazia

— PRESS —

"Almost every festival claims to be 'unique', but in the case of this North Wales' curiosity it's a fairly solid claim."
