Welcome to Cardigan, The Home of the First National Eisteddfod
Cardigan is the historic gateway into Ceredigion from the south west. Cardigan’s Welsh name is Aberteifi: [town at] the mouth of the Teifi, giving its name to Cardigan Bay as it developed as a significant 18th century Atlantic seaport.
Cardigan has a vibrant contemporary arts scene, with theatres and galleries and a host of colourful events, interesting shopping at markets and independent shops and a great choice of cafes, pubs and restaurants.
