A MAJOR procession will be held during the week of the Urdd Eisteddfod.

As an organisation passionate about providing Welsh-medium education to every child in Wales, Mudiad Meithrin will be hosting a procession at the festival on Saturday, June 4.

It will take place at 10.30am with the aim of celebrating Welsh-medium education in the area.

Cylchoedd Meithrin and Cylchoedd Ti a Fi have been busy creating colourful banners to carry as part of the parade, and the top-three will all receive a prize.

The parade will also celebrate the good news that the Dewin and Doti Festival Tour is back in its traditional form after three years.
