Visit the Llangollen Eisteddfod by Canal Boat
The 66th Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod, one of the world’s most inspirational cultural festivals, takes place from 3-8 July 2012 and is easily accessible from the Llangollen Canal.
So why not combine a canal boat holiday with a trip to the Eisteddfod?
The Eisteddfod has been staged at Llangollen since 1947. Each year over 4,000 performers from across the globe head to the beautiful little Welsh town to take part in a unique event combining competition, performance and international peace and friendship.
Around 25 different competitions celebrate song, music and dance, climaxing with the presitigous ‘Choir of the World’ where winning choirs compete for the Pavarotti Trophy.
Drifters offers narrowboat holidays from a number of bases within easy reach of Llangollen, including Trevor, just a two-hour cruise away, Chirk four hours away and Whitchurch around ten hours away.
Canal boat hire from these bases in July starts at £525 for a short break and £745 for a week’s narrowboat holiday.
