Where to stay for the Wrexham Eisteddfod this August

The influx is due to the National Eisteddfod, which will take place in August and is expected to bring high demand for accommodation throughout the region. Caravan camping on the Eisteddfod Maes has already sold out, though limited tent pitches are still available both onsite and at the new Hwyrnos location. A spokesman for Wrexham Council said: "If you still haven't managed to arrange your accommodation for the Eisteddfod week, some availability remains within the area, although as demand is high, we'd recommend securing your booking as soon as possible." The council highlighted Wrexham's wide selection of verified hotels, bed and breakfasts, self-catering accommodation, and holiday parks—all ready to offer a warm Welsh welcome/ Visitors are encouraged to explore the wider region if they struggle to find accommodation in Wrexham itself. Regional tourism partners have listings for nearby areas, including Go North Wales, Visit Chester & Cheshire, and Visit Shropshire. Councillor Nigel Williams, lead member for economy, regeneration, and tourism, said: "If you're staying in the Wrecsam area for Eisteddfod week – why not explore some of our local attractions too? "We're home to the 11-mile UNESCO World Heritage Site at Pontcysyllte, we have two National Trust Estates (Erddig and Chirk Castle), plus other great places to visit such as the picturesque Ceiriog Valley on the edge of the Clwydian Range Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Xplore Science Discovery Centre, Ty Pawb (arts, markets and food hall), a vibrant traffic-free city centre, great pubs and bars including the Saith Seren (our Cymraeg community centre and pub), as well as some great places to eat. "We can't wait to give a Wrecsam Croeso to everyone."

Official accommodation listings for Wrexham County can be found on the Visit Wales website, while the North East Wales tourism partnership also offers a selection of accredited providers. For those willing to stay further afield, additional options are available through Visit Chester & Cheshire, Visit Shropshire, and Go North Wales.
