BACKLlangollen Eisteddfod: Fabric bridge covering for festival’s return
The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod is returning this year, though it will be mainly held online.
The festival has been held in the Denbighshire town every year since 1947 but was postponed in 2020 because of Covid. This year the main programme will be free of charge over the weekend of the 9-11 July.
It will feature classical, choral, hip-hop, dance, world music, and an artwork covering the town’s bridge with fabric.
