Preparing to welcome Wales to Denbighshire
The Council is gearing up to welcome Eisteddfod yr Urdd to Denbighshire.
Work has already started on creating the Maes on the outskirts of Denbigh and the Council has been working closely with event organisers to ensure the Eisteddfod is a huge success.
The Eisteddfod was due to be held in Denbighshire in 2020, but was delayed twice due to Covid restrictions.
Now plans are in full swing to prepare the Maes, ready for the event - 30 May to 4 June.
The Council will have a marquee on the Maes and will have activities for the whole family. Children can come in and get involved in creating works of art using local materials with artist Mari Gwent. Art works created by local school children as part of a project leading up to the Eisteddfod will also be on display.
There will be a taste of the coast coming to the country as we have planned to have a sand pit for our younger visitors. There will also be a wild flower meadow created to promote the work we are doing around climate change and being more environmentally friendly.
Our studio space will be used by local schools as a practice stage, so it’s a great opportunity to hear our talented children and young people in action. There will also be other activities hosted in the studio during the week, including musical items, storytelling sessions and silent discos. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Twitter accounts for more information.
The Council will also be promoting the county as a great place to visit, with the focus on promoting things to do in the county, highlighting the attractions available and we’ll have a BMX track for children as part of our efforts to promote leisure activities in the county.
The Council is delighted to be one of the main sponsors of the event, including the primary and secondary schools shows on the Wednesday and Thursday. These will provide a great opportunity for our children and young people to perform on a national stage.
Come and see us during the week. You can find us next to the main entrance.
