About the event
The National Eisteddfod is an annual touring youth festival – a key event in our country’s calendar! The vibrant festival brings together people of all ages and backgrounds and encompasses all aspects of the arts and culture in Wales. It is a showcase for a diverse mix of music, dance, visual arts, literature, and performances, and draws thousands of Welsh speakers and Welsh learners every year.
This year’s festival will be hosted in Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, with up to 90,000 thousand visitors expected to gather in the town for the week-long festival.

Commenting on our involvement is Jonathan Thomas, PR and Brand Manager:
“We are delighted to be supporting this prestigious competition-based festival. This is a wonderful opportunity to celebrate youth culture, the education community, and the Welsh language. We look forward to meeting attendees face-to-face and providing them with additional support and guidance to deliver our subjects with confidence.”
Meet the team
Our friendly team will be on hand at our exhibition stand (stand 11), so you can get the support you need! Members of our Qualification Development team will be available to walk you through our co-construction approach in the developments of our new suite of reformed GCSEs, or if you’ve got any initial views or questions about our new Level 3 Advanced Skills Baccalaureate Wales qualification, the team will be available to assist from Friday to Saturday.
Even if you haven’t got any questions, still swing by, and say ‘hello’ – you can put your feet up in our ‘Wellbeing Zone’. Here you will find free resources to support learners with mental health and wellbeing – from advice on revising confidently, to fun activities and mindfulness. You’ll also be able to participate in a whole host of games and competitions - the first 30 people to visit our stand and share their top revision tip will win a free water bottle. Come and see what’s on offer!
Hei Mistar Urdd
If you’d like to take a selfie with the famous Mr Urdd (he’s the Urdd Gobaith Cymru mascot), he’ll be visiting us at stand 11 from 11am on Wednesday 31st May and Friday 2nd of June! Be sure to use the hashtag #HunlunMistarUrdd.
Pob Lwc!
‘Pob Lwc’ to the individuals who won their place and will be competing during the Eisteddfod week! We are certain that the Carmarthenshire Urdd Eisteddfod 2023 will be a great success – a festival to remember!
