Denbighshire Urdd National Eisteddfod

30 May – 4 June 2022

The Urdd Eisteddfod is coming to Denbighshire! Did you know that entry to the festival will be free, in celebration of the Urdd’s centenary year?

The Urdd Eisteddfod takes place during May half term, between 30 May – 4 June, on the fields of Kilford Farm on the outskirts of Denbigh. It will be the largest national youth arts festival held in Wales since the beginning of the pandemic.

To celebrate the special occasion, a brand-new festival will also be held on the Eisteddfod site – Triban Festival – to celebrate the best of Welsh music and culture. This is your invitation to join us for the Urdd’s big centenary reunion on the weekend of 2-4 June!

Important Eisteddfod dates for the diary:

10 March: Release date of entry tickets to the Urdd National Eisteddfod.

Due to the current guidelines regarding Covid-19, local and regional Eisteddfodau will be held in the spring but without audiences. It has also been decided that all those competing in stage competitions in the 19- and 25-year-old category will go straight through to the Eisteddfod in Denbigh.
