Excitement is building in Ruthin ahead of the Urdd Welsh youth festival being held in the town in May. You can listen online as ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Radio Wales community reporter Sharon Braunton from Denbigh finds out about the preparations being made by the locals.
Around 40,000 youngsters from across Wales compete in 460 different events, from singing and dancing to swimming and art. The cream then go on to the finals which, this year, are to be held in Ruthin at the end of May. Last year the event was held in Cardiff. Preparations in Ruthin began well over a year ago and the fundraising is now at its peak. Sharon has been speaking to local organisers and to some of the young hopefuls about their experiences so far.
