Y Felinheli - Demographics

Demographics

Demographically, according to the United Kingdom Census 2001, the number of speakers of the Welsh language in all age groups was 72%, with the highest percentage of Welsh speakers being in the 5–9 range (97.8%). This means that Y Felinheli is the 49th most Welsh-speaking electoral division by percentage in Wales. There is a very strong Welsh community, with almost all community activities held in the Welsh Language.

Although most villagers work in Caernarfon or Bangor, the village has a strong sense of community. The local carnival committee organises the annual Gwyl y Felinheli (Felinheli Festival), and also a fireworks display at the beginning of November. Both of these events are very popular in the local area, and parts of the village close down to allow the visitors proper access.

There is a local football team.
