The Societies Pavilions’ schedules are among the most interesting and varied on the Maes, and although we run the pavilions, any organisation or society can apply to hold a meeting in the pavilions during the week.  

This is the home of discussion and debate at the Eisteddfod and may be one of the Maes’ secrets.

Some societies apply to hold a meeting here because the Eisteddfod is held locally, and others come to us every year as it’s a chance for them to attract a national audience.  

The schedule is full of lectures, discussion sessions, and reunions, everything under the sun. 

Some of this year’s sessions are held in the visitors’ centre above the Lido, and these are clearly marked in the programme.
