ENTRY to this year's Urdd Eisteddfod is free of charge - but tickets must be booked in advance of the week-long festival.
The announcement of free entry came following confirmation of £527,000 funding from the Welsh Government to allow free entry to the Urdd Eisteddfod, which will be held on the outskirts of Denbigh from May 30 to June 4.
Education and Welsh Language Minister Jeremy Miles MS said: “I’m delighted to support this wonderful festival by announcing that entry to the Urdd Eisteddfod 2022 will be free.
"I hope that as many people as possible take up the opportunity to attend and celebrate the organisation’s 100th year.

“It’s testament to the work of the Urdd that so many adults reflect fondly on their experience of attending the Eisteddfod and competing when they were younger.
"The Urdd Eisteddfod is not only a cultural highlight of our Welsh calendar, but also a fantastic way for our children and young people to see and hear our language, speak it themselves, and take part in the many competitive and social events on offer.”
Due to Covid restrictions, all Urdd Eisteddfod visitors will need to book a free ticket.
