Are you a creative in the Cardiff Capital Region and interested in going to the National Eisteddfod in Pontypridd but don’t know what to expect?
Creative Cardiff is running an Eisteddfod Day Trip specially for creatives, aimed at those who are learning Welsh or interested in learning Welsh. There is no requirement to be a Welsh speaker in order to take part. This trip will take place on the Maes (the Eisteddfod site) on Monday 5 August and will be an opportunity to experience what the Eisteddfod has to offer with a group of likeminded creatives!
From the Pafiliwn to the unique stalls, this trip will take you around the main attractions on the Maes and will give you tips on how to get the most out of your day. It’s also a great chance to network and meet other creatives in your area.
Entry to the Eisteddfod will be covered by Creative Cardiff. You are also welcome to remain on the Eisteddfod Maes after the Day Trip has ended or leave and come back in the evening to enjoy one of Wales’ best folk groups, Mynediad am Ddim.
