A new partnership between the Welsh Government, the National Eisteddfod, and the National Centre for Learning Welsh has expanded Maes D, the Eisteddfod’s dedicated space for learners.

Visitors can stop by Caffi Maes D for a paned a sgwrs (cuppa and chat) in Welsh with fellow learners and volunteers.

The Welsh Government’s Welsh Communities Commission is exploring how to support the growth of Cymraeg in areas where it is less widely spoken.

Welsh Language Secretary Mark Drakeford said: “Welsh is our national language and every community has an important role in its future.

“The research we are doing will inform future policy development and ensure that communities like Wrexham receive support.

“Cymraeg belongs to us all, which is exactly what we’re seeing through the growing enthusiasm here.

“It’s fantastic to see the Eisteddfod celebrated in Wrexham and lots of learners participating in it.”

The Eisteddfod, which continues until Saturday, offers a wide range of events and activities for people of all ages and backgrounds to enjoy and take part in.
