A brand new arts festival is coming to Mynydd Isa’s Community and Arts Centre, Caffi Isa this June.
Caffi Isa, located at the heart of the village just outside Mold, has gone from strength to strength since taking over the building in 2016.
Since then Caffi Isa has offered an eclectic programme of events, including live music, stand up comedy, pantomime and murder mystery.
