Excitement builds over youth festivals
Excitement is building in Ruthin as work has just begun to erect a 1,600-seater pavilion for the national Welsh youth festival, the Urdd, which is expected to attract 100,000 visitors, reports .
Meanwhile, in Connah's Quay, finishing touches are being put on plans for the town's second annual outdoor youth and music festival. This year the event, organised by local group Deecat, takes place at Wepre Park and features local unsigned bands who battled it out in an earlier competition for a place on the stage.
