Although the Eisteddfod will be officially in Llantwd, Sir Benfro, in 2026, it also takes in the south of Ceredigion and the west of Sir Gâr, so quite a large catchment area.
The local organisers are already looking to put plans in place and are calling for applicants to take part in the main ceremonies:
As you know the Eisteddfod will return to the area in August 2026 and amongst the highlights are the Gorsedd Ceremonies which will be held in the Pavilion. There is an opportunity for local adults and young people to take a leading role in these Ceremonies as dancers in the Dawns Flodau/Flower Dance and as Gorsedd presenters.

Why not join us on 17 May in Narberth? Come and be part of the Proclamation Festival for Eisteddfod y Garreg Las. Community groups and schools are very welcome to be part of the community procession, and we’re also looking for volunteers to help out on the day. The procession starts at 10:00 and the ceremony at 11:00, and the Llandudoch Eisteddfod is held on the same day, so why not spend the whole day celebrating Welsh culture?
