The National Eisteddfod of Wales

Pontcanna Fields

The National Eisteddfod of Wales returns to Cardiff after a thirty year gap.

This massive Welsh cultural event takes place in Marqees in Pontcanna Fields and the Eisteddfod fields will also be filled with crafts, music, food and books.

Many thousands will visit the event and its competitions throughout the week.

Cardiff will have a busy week as visitors flock to the capital city with the perfect excuse to come from all over Wales.

When the Eisteddfod was last here in 1978 local writer Sion Eirian was crowned the youngest ever crown winner at the age of 24. Others will hope to emulate his success as the 'Corn Gwlad'

Cardiff welcomes back this Welsh language feast with more Welsh speakers now living in Cardiff than ever before.

Time: 2-9 August

What are RSS Feeds?

RSS feeds allow you to see when websites have added new content. You can get the latest headlines and stories in one place, as soon as they are published, without having to visit the websites you have taken the feed from.

How do I start using feeds?

In general, the first thing you need is something called a feed reader. This is a piece of software that checks the feeds and lets you read any new articles that have been added. There are many different versions, some of which are accessed using a browser, and some of which are downloadable applications. IE 7.0 has a good feed reader built in, otherwise try Feedreader.
