I've paid Urdd membership, can I get my money back?
Unfortunately, we will not be able to refund membership fees. Urdd membership contributes to staff employment and activities throughout the year, and in this unique case which will have a huge impact on the Urdd, membership refunds will not be possible.

I've paid for tickets for the evening concerts. Can I get my money back?
We will arrange full refunds through the card you used to pay for your tickets, or you can keep your tickets and they will be valid for the Denbighshire Urdd Eisteddfod in 2021. This may take some weeks because of the situation. If you have not received the refund before 3 April 2020 please contact us on eisteddfod@urdd.org.
I've paid for a caravan, can I get a refund?
The Eisteddfod will arrange refunds, or you can keep your booking for the 2021 Urdd Eisteddfod, which will be held in the same location in Denbighshire. Refunds may take up to a month due to the busy period. If you haven't received it by 3 April please contact us at eisteddfod@urdd.org
Will the 2021 Denbighshire Urdd Eisteddfod go ahead?
It's impossible to confirm at this point in time due to the ongoing Coronavirus situation. We'll be sure to keep you updated with any new information.
