Thu 25 Apr 2024Please see the attached letter regarding the opportunity to apply for free tickets for the National Eisteddfod.
In March 2024, Welsh Government announced £350,000 of funding to be provided to the National Eisteddfod to enable eligible families from lower income households to attend the festival in Rhondda Cynon Taf. This means that free admission tickets and food vouchers will be available for up to 18,400 eligible local people when the National Eisteddfod visits Ynysangharad War Memorial Park, Pontypridd, from 3rd -10th August 2024.

Eisteddfod Art Competition 2024
Fri 12 Apr 2024Eisteddfod Art Competition 2024
As you may be aware, this year’s National Eisteddfod will be held in Ynysangharad Park in Pontypridd from 3rd - 10th August. As part of the Eisteddfod’s ‘Harddu’ (beautifying) project, local primary school pupils have been invited to create artwork, with the winning designs being displayed at Pontypridd Library from 14th June until 11th August.
We would like to invite your child to take part in the competition by creating a picture on the theme ‘Croeso’ (Welcome). The artwork should intertwine elements of the area and the main features of the Maes (the site where the Eisteddfod will be held). How your child presents their work is entirely up to them - as long as it is colourful and bilingual or has no language at all.
A winner from each area - Rhondda, Cynon and Taf - will be selected by an external judge and the winners will be invited to an unveiling ceremony in Pontypridd Library on 14th June.
The winning schools, along with the 2nd and 3rd in each area will receive a 3m x 1m banner with their design to be displayed outside their school.
We would love to have as many entries from Pontyclun Primary School as possible! If your child would like to enter, please could their completed artwork be returned to their class teacher by Monday 13th May.
Diolch yn fawr am eich cefnogaeth - Thank you very much for your support.,
Mrs Bishop and Mrs Maidment (Welsh coordinators)
