When and where?

Llantwd, in the heart of north Pembrokeshire – one of the most beautiful corners of Wales – is getting ready to welcome you from 1–8 August 2026!

This year’s Eisteddfod takes place in the area known as ‘y Garreg Las’, named after the striking local bluestone. The catchment area stretches across three stunning regions: Pembrokeshire, south Ceredigion, and west Carmarthenshire – each with its own charm, stories, and warm croeso.

Before the festival
