Catchphrase's Eisteddfod guide
 For one week only, at the beginning of August every year, Welsh-speaking Wales goes mad for Yr Eisteddfod Genedlaethol (The National Eisteddfod).
Here's a rough guide to this Welsh institution.

We've
put together a diary to help you plan your trip to Meifod, showing
the days when the various ceremonies,
big concerts and competitions take place.There's a rough guide
to what you'll find on the Maes ( the
Eisteddfod site). At the fringes of the festival, there's always
lots of music, drama and poetry.
There's a potted history of the Eisteddfod and we've hunted out the links to essential Eisteddfod-centric websites and, of course, some Welsh phrases to learn ahead of your visit. Enjoy.
