The Llyn peninsula is this year’s home to one of the biggest festivals in Europe, the Eisteddfod. It celebrates the best of Welsh culture - a natural showcase for music, dance, visual arts, literature, original performances and much more.

Sian Eleri heads to the village of Boduan near Pwllheli to bring all the highlights and stories from the National Eisteddfod of Wales and to discover how this most ancient of festivals is constantly evolving to remain a relevant cultural force.

It kicks off with a rousing opening show - a folk concerto headed by the talented quartet Pedair, joined by the Eisteddfod folk choir.

Sian catches up with the makers of this year’s Crown and Chair, awarded to the main literary prize winners. She brings a flavour of the diverse selection of performances, from brass bands and classy pop to classical and contemporary music.

Sian catches up with N’famady Kouyate, voted best newcomer in Glastonbury. She also visits the Lle Celf – the largest temporary modern art exhibition in Europe.
