Good quality street entertainment helps create
a vibrant and dynamic atmosphere and adds to
the experience of shopping or visiting Swansea
City Centre.
Buskers are a popular aspect of Swansea’s
street-scene and make a positive contribution
to what’s on in the City Centre.
Whether you’re a professional street performer,
story-teller, dancer, aspiring musician or drama
student, Swansea City Centre’s authorised
busking and street entertainment scheme,
From Busk Til Dawn, provides a regulated,
safe and accessible platform for performers
to gain invaluable experience entertaining
the public as well as a modest income
from busking.
The Scheme, which has been running since
2009, also ensures activities are co-ordinated,
promoted and supported by local buskers and
City Centre traders.
