The Urdd Eisteddfod came to an end on Saturday after a successful, and mostly dry, week. The event was hosted at Llanerchaeron, an 18th century National Trust-owned estate near Aberaeron.

Over 100,000 people walked the Maes during the six-day event with many competing from all around Wales. And according to the it was the first time since 2006 for visitor numbers to pass the 100,000 milestone.
