🇬🇧 St David’s Day Movie Night & Sweet Traditions- March 1st

Celebrate St David’s Day at Home with a Welsh-Themed Sweet Night

St David’s Day (1st March) is a brilliant opportunity to celebrate Welsh heritage — even if you’re marking it quietly at home. Whether you have Welsh roots or simply love British traditions, a themed family movie night paired with classic sweets is a simple way to bring the occasion to life.

At Barnett Confectioners Ltd, we’ve been crafting traditional boiled sweets in Nottingham since 1896 and there’s something fitting about celebrating a British national day with heritage confectionery.

• A family-friendly Welsh or UK-made film
• A documentary about Welsh landscapes
