In pictures: Urdd Eisteddfod 2025 in rain and shine

Despite it being the hottest start to May in Wales this year, the sunshine didn't quite hold out for this week's Urdd Eisteddfod.

While some photos may be deceiving, Europe's largest youth festival, held this year in Margam Park in Neath Port Talbot, was largely damp - but performers didn't let the weather rain on their parade.

Wednesday was the brightest day, with families across Wales flocking to the Maes to spectate, eat and enjoy.

From political faces including First Minister Eluned Morgan and Mark Drakeford to former rugby star Alun Wyn Jones, everyone turned up to show their passion for the Welsh language.
