We are looking forward to being part of the National Eisteddfod in Pontypridd. Why not come down to the town centre for a chat on 8^th & 9^th August, from 11:00 to 15:00, and find out how you could support people living in your community in Rhondda Cynon Taf?

In case you were interested, the history of the National Eisteddfod can be traced back to 1176, with the first modern day Eisteddfod held in Aberdare in 1861.

Since then, the festival has alternated between north and south Wales, and has only been postponed three times in over 160 years: 1914, at the beginning of the First World War, and 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The festival is a warm and welcoming family-friendly event, promoting the language and culture of Wales through a wide range of activities.
