The Blaenau Gwent and Heads of the Valleys
National Eisteddfod

Saturday 31 July - Saturday 7 August 2010
The Works, Ebbw Vale

The National Eisteddfod is one of the world’s greatest festivals and attracts around 160,000 visitors annually. It also plays an important role in the life of a nation by promoting the Welsh language and the arts.

The Pavilion is the focus of the Eisteddfod. This is where the ceremonies, competitions and concerts take place. The evenings are full of entertainment too - on the field and in the local area: pop, folk, rock and hip hop concerts, classical plays, comedy shows and lots of parties for people of all ages.

Welsh is the official language of the festival, but translation equipment is available for those who would like a simultaneous translation service during the main pavilion ceremonies. There is a warm welcome for everyone at the Eisteddfod.

This year’s Eisteddfod will be located at the The Works, Ebbw Vale. As usual Academi staff will be present on the Academi stand and running events throughout the week. Drop in for a chat, a cup of tea and to find out what is happening in literary Wales.
