Visitor figures confirm Wrexham Eisteddfod welcomed 175,000 visitors throughout the week.
Hosted on the outskirts of Wrexham in August 2025, the visitor figures have now confirmed 175,000 visitors attended, welcoming more Welsh speakers than ever before.
Welsh Language Champion Councillor Hugh Jones said, “We are honoured to have hosted one of Europe’s biggest festivals, the visitor figures confirm the event was a huge success for Wrexham and a great celebration of the Welsh language, culture and heritage we have to offer.”
In the heart of the Eisteddfod was Pentref Wrecsam, a warm and welcoming activity hub celebrating what makes Wrexham special.
Pentref Wrecsam featured a full programme of live music, craft and play activities, and reading sessions in the Pabell Chwarae (Play Tent).
Exciting activities were also on offer in the Ardal Chwaraeon (sports zone), run by Active Wrexham, including football activities with Wrexham AFC, tennis sessions with Tennis Wales and a giant inflatable football shirt.
Wrexham’s cultural arts centre, Ty Pawb, also curated ‘Y Lle Celf’, one of the largest contemporary art exhibitions in Europe, showcasing a national selection of contemporary art, craft and architecture.
Visitors were also encouraged to explore Wrexham and visit Ffrinj Wrecsam, led by local businesses, cultural venues and community groups, offering visitors the chance to immerse themselves in everything that Wrexham has to offer, from food and drink to street markets and local performances.
Councillor Nigel Williams, Lead member for Economy, Business and Tourism said, “The Eisteddfod provided a really great boost for Cymraeg, our culture and our economy here within Wrecsam, it was fantastic to see so many new visitors exploring what we have to offer and supporting our local businesses, venues and community groups”.
It has been confirmed that the 2026 National Eisteddfod of Wales will be held in Llantwd, North Pembrokeshire from August 1-8.
