Beautiful place to visit

My husband and I had an excellent couple of days there with both our children taking part in the different choirs. There was plenty of different types of food places available and lovely stalls to browse around. The main arena itself was beautifully decorated with colourful flowers. Also there were lots of very talented people/groups from all over the world who took part. Llangollen is a beautiful place to visit.

Perpetually in awe about this Eisteddfod

We are perpetually in awe about this Eisteddfod and what you guys achieve. Every year our eyes and ears are challenged by something new and this year’s Choir of the World finale was amazing.

John Adolygiad Facebook (8 July 2018)

Why haven’t I been before?

What an amazing event. I brought my choir for the first time and was blown away. Why haven’t I been before? Such a truly joyous event and such high quality. And everyone was so welcoming. We’ll be back!!! Thank you to everyone who made this happen.

Magical place

The Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod is a magical place full of songs and dancers from all over the world. Everyone should go, just to see that different people do have a communal language.

I love this place and would recommend it to anyone

Such good value. Tickets enable access to ‘the field’ with its variety of concessions, the outdoor stages, and the opportunity for al fresco displays of dancers, choirs and musicians. Over the two days we were there, we saw singers and dancers from Estonia, Slovenia, Canada, America, Zimbabwe, Singapore, to name but a few.

Sue Adolygiad Trip Advisor (16 July 2018)

Out of this world!

Our second year visiting…absolutely amazing, atmosphere, volunteers and weather were out of this world. This has to go on everyone’s bucket list to attend!

Clare Adolygiad Trip Advisor (9 July 2018)

Absolutely exceptional week

This is without doubt a ‘Must Not Miss’ event of the best of music, dance and choral teams from around the world competing for the prestigious ‘Best’ in each category. This year’s competition was an absolutely exceptional week with superb choirs, dance and music teams.

Geoffrey Adolygiad Trip Advisor (9 July 2018)

Eclectic and exceptional performers

Easy to find and easy to park. Plenty going on aside from the choral competitions in the main pavilion. We highly recommend the outside stages. Plenty of eaterie options and the calibre of performers was both eclectic and exceptional.

Dizzy Adolygiad Trip Advisor (7 July 2018)

Always a fabulous event

A visit to the Eisteddfod is always a fabulous event, no matter who is performing. It’s great to get to the arena well ahead of the performance time, to have a look at the many stalls and watch some of the other free concerts.

Elizabeth Adolygiad Trip Advisor (7 July 2018)

Wonderful Setting

Great festival, wonderful setting and really well organised. 

Raffles Adolygiad Trip Advisor (7 July 2018)

Van Morrison on his experience at Llangollen

It was fantastic to experience performing at the Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, amongst such a welcoming audience and picturesque setting. Singing live is always special, however the festival’s unique combination of location, high spirits and celebration of cultures made the event truly unforgettable for me.

Van Morrison Noswaith gyda Van Morrison (10 July 2018)

Blown away by the evening concert!

Wonderful relaxed event – a choice of food from around the globe with a variety of music on different stages. Blown away by the evening concert from Alfie Boe.

Lynee Facebook (4 July 2018)

Relaxing atmosphere

Alan Facebook (4 July 2018)

Patriotism offset by joy and friendship

I so enjoy the Eisteddfod. There is nothing like it anywhere in the world, as far as I know. Patriotism offset by joy and friendship. It is so well organised too. Thank you! I love my annual visits. 

Ralph Allwood MBE Adjudicator (9 July 2018)

Awesome festival for the whole world!

An awesome festival for the whole world, it knows how to attract the finest musicians and the most talented dancers. No wonder they are much loved; even the parades are outstanding and fun.

Fantastic performance in singing and dancing!

It was a good day, all participants around the world gave their fantastic performance in singing and dancing, plenty of food and drinks stalls, souvenir shops, plus an evening with Van Morrison. To all organisers, thumbs-up for doing a great job, see you again next year.

Jackie Facebook (8 July 2018)

Broadened horizon

A very colourful, enjoyable, week of entertainment for the family. People from all nations visit the beautiful vale of Llangollen to compete in song and dance…It is safe to say that the entertainment and experience will broaden your horizons, and from nine to ninety there is something to suit everyone.

Wendy Facebook (8 July 2018)

Happy people from all over the world!

It was wonderful to see so many happy faces, and people from all parts of the world getting along with one another. Highly entertaining and in one of the most beautiful parts of Wales. I’d recommend it for everyone – we are certainly going again and again.

Cultural hub of the world!

An excellent opportunity to show your musical talents, to spread the culture of your native land and to see other magnificent music lovers from all corners of the globe, from all walks of life and of all ages! Llangollen for this week in July should be the cultural hub of the world!

The event is so well organised. The main pavilion is breathtaking in size, with wonderful flower displays decorating the stage. The concert was absolutely amazing.

I was impressed with the Eisteddfod as a first time visitor. It is something we should be very proud of and has been the springboard for many including the great Pavarotti.

Lejski Visitor (22 July 2017)

A truly international event

It is a truly international event with choirs and dancers coming from all across the world. The Eisteddfod celebrates bringing countries and communities together through their common interest in music and culture which overcomes any language barriers, making friends across the nations and countries.

Whatahol Visitor (30 July 2017)

An excellent day out

An excellent day out to hear an international selection of music. So many different things going on, as well as the main pavilion. Where else might you hear Albanian, Estonian, USA, Welsh or Zimbabwean musicians (and many other countries) playing in a great location. Llangollen has plenty to offer as well, enjoy the local food… Read more »

Spine tingling experience

This was our first visit to this music festival but it most certainly won’t be the last. We bought tickets for the evening concert on 7th July 2016. We spent the afternoon at the festival and found it a great experience.
