Festival companion app for planning multi-venue gigs in Cardiff
Displays daily gig listings, an interactive city map, and a personalized timetable for managing overlapping shows during the Sŵn Festival (20–30 words). Moilin Cyf built the mobile guide as an official festival companion and a lifestyle app (10–15 words). It offers bilingual navigation, artist bios, real-time news updates, and direct ticket links (20–25 words). Suited to festival-goers who need a portable, city-wide itinerary tool while in Cardiff (15–20 words).
What the app does for a festival day
Gwyl Sŵn consolidates multiple event streams into one place: daily gig listings filtered by venue and location, artist biographies, and a personal timetable called My Sŵn. The app's core task is reducing the friction of planning simultaneous sets across the city centre by letting users pick shows and view schedules in one view. Real-time festival information and news updates keep the schedule current during the event.
How it connects you to the city and venues
The app includes an interactive festival map that shows city-wide navigation and venue locations, and it presents direct links for purchasing festival tickets. Map-based navigation and venue filters let users orient themselves between multiple nearby stages without switching tools. Because it provides location-aware listings for Cardiff venues, it supports moving between sites across walking distances within the festival footprint.
Accessibility and bilingual support in daily use
Moilin emphasises Welsh and English across the interface, so bilingual users can read schedules and artist information in their preferred language. The interface groups daily listings by venue and date, which reduces onboarding friction for first-time attendees. The personalized timetable feature helps manage overlapping commitments; users compile a schedule rather than track paper lists or scattered websites.
To sum up, a focused festival planner for on-the-ground attendees
Gwyl Sŵn is a practical companion for weekend music fans who need to navigate a multi-venue festival in Cardiff and keep a personal schedule in hand. The app suits people who value bilingual support and live updates; it is less useful for those wanting broad discovery outside the festival, since its content centres on the Sŵn line-up and event news.
