The decision was agreed at a public meeting held in Margam Park’s Orangery on Monday, April 24 involving volunteers and representatives from across Neath Port Talbot.
The Urdd Eisteddfod is Wales's largest youth festival which attracts 75,000 competitors and more than 100,000 visitors each year. The 2025 Urdd Eisteddfod will be held at Margam Park between May 26- 31 2025.
