Eisteddfod Genedlaethol Cymru - y Garreg Las
This year, we are celebrating the 850th anniversary of the first ever Eisteddfod held at Cardigan Castle in 1176.
The National Eisteddfod of Wales will visit the Garreg Las area between 01 and 08 August 2026.
Llantood in north Pembrokeshire will be the home of the festival, but the Garreg Las area covers south Ceredigion, west Carmarthenshire and the whole of Pembrokeshire.
This is a special song by primary school pupils in the Garreg Las area to welcome the National Eisteddfod. Search for Croeso i Fro’r Garreg Las' on all digital streaming platforms, and enjoy listening to the young voices of the area.
Timetable
A full schedule of activities and competitions taking place during the week is available on the National Eisteddfod of Wales website.
A series of events will be held in collaboration between Ceredigion County Council, Pembrokeshire County Council and Carmarthenshire County Council in the 'Pentre'r Garreg Las' area of the Maes.
Decorating Project
Do you remember the beautiful flags leading the way to Tregaron in 2022? Why not get creative again this year to welcome Y Garreg Las? More information and creative ideas can be found on the Eisteddfod's 2026 decorating project page.
