But many people may still be unfamiliar with the Eisteddfod and everything that it entails. You may have never competed in a singing competition, you may have never heard about Y Gorsedd and you may not be able to speak Welsh, but that doesn't mean that the Eisteddfod is not for you.

The Welsh festival is filled with all kinds of activities, food stalls and sites worth visiting. This year, it's located in Ceredigion and locals have gone above and beyond to make it a memorable one.
