Eisteddfod

A question about : Eisteddfod

Is anyone going to the Eisteddfod this week, or been in the past? We are 'incomers' and not sure if it is for us, even though apparently there are headphones available for translation.
Will we be welcome- will we enjoy it? Or more importantly will it be a good day out for our family visiting?

Best answers:

• Eisteddfod is a great day for anyone! Plenty to see, eat, drink, freebies (I love those, pens, bags, maybe brollies!), just grab what you can!
  Of course there's a welcome for you there. Go & enjoy!!
• I hope you went and I hope you enjoyed. I've just come back after 4 nights in a tent. It's not a very moneysaving week (though two small wins in the literary section and a short piece on telly helped). I'm mainly interested in the literary side, but my partner does a lot with Welsh learners there.
