Eisteddfod y Garreg Las - 25 days to go
Eisteddfod y Garreg Las - Dim ond 25 diwrnod i fynd
Excitement is building as the National Eisteddfod approaches, and work begins on the Maes in north Pembrokeshire.
Today, July 7, marks 25 days until Eisteddfod y Garreg Las opens its gates to visitors to offer a celebration of Welsh language, creativity and culture.
The festival will be held in Llantwd August 1st to 8th, and this year’s catchment area also includes communities in south Ceredigion and west Carmarthenshire, helping connect local people with the celebrations.
Preparations are continuing for Pentre'r Garreg Las, Pembrokeshire County Council and partners’ area on the Maes, which will showcase and celebrate what the county has to offer.
A packed programme is in the process of being finalised for Pabell Pawb, and will include a rich mixture of talks, talented musicians and demonstrations.
This year marks 850 years since the first Eisteddfod was held a few miles away in Cardigan Castle, and a giant puppet of founder Lord Rhys, built by Small World Theatre, recently delighted communities as he made his journey around the area.
This annual festival brings together performers, writers, artists, choirs, competitors and visitors from across Wales for a week of competitions, concerts and exhibitions.
