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.

Efa Gruffud Jones, the Urdd's chief executive told the Western Mail "It's been a roaring success".... "It's been a wonderful partnership between the Urdd and the National Trust".

Here are a list of the major winners from each day of the Urdd Eisteddfod:

• Monday - Composer's Medal - Arwel Rhys Williams.
• Tuesday - Medal for learners - Jack Pulman-Staler
• Wednesday - Drama Medal - Manon Wyn Williams
• Thursday - The Chair - Llyr Gwyn Lewis
