Hundreds of people turned up in the sun this morning (Saturday) in a bid to find the concert tickets carefully hidden on the field as part of this year's big Eisteddfod Treasure Hunt.
A total of 79 of the golden envelopes had been secreted in a variety of hiding places which their lucky finders could then exchange for the free summer show tickets.
After their initial charge through the gates at either end of the field, the seekers - including many families - were soon queueing up outside the Pavilion building to collect their winnings. And within an hour the vast bulk of envelopes had been handed in by delighted finders.
This year’s blockbuster line-up includes Rick Astley, Pete Tong Ibiza Classics, David Gray, Billy Ocean, Super Furry Animals, Bowling for Soup, Frank Turner & The Sleeping Souls, Deacon Blue and Tom Grennan, alongside a packed Eisteddfod programme featuring Emeli Sandé and the Absolute Orchestra, Michael Ball, Uniting Nations: One World, Global Rhythms: Made In Wales, Orchestral Qawwali Project, and the prestigious Choir of the World competition. The festival also offers a full daily programme of competitions and field entertainment.
