We've been working with local businesses across the area to find out what services are available for the thousands of visitors who will be coming to Blaenau Gwent and the Heads of the Valleys dring August this year.  We've compiled this online guide of services, which is an opt in service.  This covers services and companies which will be needed by our visitors during the week.

For more information on the directory, or to register your company, use the online registration form here,  The directory is an opt in service, and organisers will publish details in this database.  We will only print details of companies whose services are relevant to visitors coming to the area for the week in August.

The National Eisteddfod does not take any responsibilty for any of the services offered by these companies and their services have not been verified by us.  We also cannot guarantee that any websites or additional information are available bilingually.
