Welsh cultural life and traditions continue to flourish in the area, with Mold (‘Yr Wyddgrug’) being the centre of many activities designed to preserve the distinctive way of life that goes back centuries.

Daniel Owen (1836-1895), the first and most prominent novelist in the Welsh Language, was a native of the town.  He personifies much of what is still important in Flintshire today, and his ideals of caring local government, thriving commerce, and adherence to a high moral and religious code remain a strong influence on community life.

A passion for music and singing is an essential element of Welsh life among all ages and classes.  Highly professional formal concerts are regularly given by male voice choirs, and some drinkers still enjoy bursting into song at their local pubs.
