A shuttle bus service has been arranged to transport people parking in Denbigh town centre over to the Eisteddfod yr Urdd Maes, completely free of charge.
The bus service is in addition to the official parking arranged by the Urdd next to the Maes, which can be found off Whitchurch Road towards the Llandyrnog direction.
The bus service will run from Monday, May 30 until Saturday, June 4, starting at Lenten Pool, Denbigh at 8.15am.
It will operate every half-an-hour, travelling along Vale Street and Ruthin Road to the Maes and calling at all bus stops along the way.
The last bus will leave Lenten Pool at 6.45pm on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
Additional buses will operate on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday, to accommodate people attending Gwyl Triban on the Maes.
The last bus will leave Lenten Pool at 8.15pm.
The last scheduled bus will leave the Maes on the Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at 7pm, departing at 10.30pm on the Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Emlyn Jones, head of planning, public protection and countryside service at Denbighshire Council said: “We are delighted to be working with the Urdd to arrange a shuttle bus for this prestigious event.

“Many visitors will drive directly to the official car parks, but others may want to park in Denbigh and travel to the Maes on the shuttle service.
“It will be an ideal service for those who prefer to park in the town centre and would like an opportunity to explore the businesses and services offered in the town.”
Siân Eirian, director of the Urdd Eisteddfod and the arts, said: "The support of Denbighshire County Council and local volunteers for the Urdd Eisteddfod has been outstanding.
"We are extremely grateful to the council for organising a shuttle bus to facilitate the festival's visitor arrangements to the Maes this year, and making the most of the opportunity to enjoy all that Denbigh has to offer during their visit to the area. We look forward to continuing our co-operation over the coming weeks to make the Urdd centenary Eisteddfod one to remember.”
