Held during the first week of August every year, the National Eisteddfod is a celebration of the culture and language in Wales. Encompassing all aspects of the arts and culture in Wales, it is the natural showcase for music, dance, visual arts, literature and performance’s.
The festival travels from place to place, alternating between north and south Wales, attracting around 150,000 visitors and over 250 tradestands and stalls.
The history of the Eisteddfod in Wales can be traced back to 1176, with the modern history of the organisation dating back to 1861. The festival has been held every year, other than 1914, when the outbreak of the First World War saw it postponed for a year.
