Eisteddfod faced "uncertain future" but for government help, says chair

Llangollen International Eisteddfod would have faced an "uncertain future" without financial support from the Welsh Government, its chair has told the BBC.

Dr Rhys Davies said the festival would have lost "hundreds of thousands" of pounds without grants to support it.

The event should have begun yesterday (Monday) but was cancelled because of Covid-19.
