Cardigan is a town in the county of Ceredigion in Wales. Cardigan lies on a tidal reach of the River Teifi at the point where Ceredigion meets Pembrokeshire. Cardigan was the county town of the historic county of Cardiganshire and is the second largest town in present-day Ceredigion.
The settlement at Cardigan was developed around the Norman castle built in the late 11th or early 12th century. The castle was the location of the first National Eisteddfod in 1176; it underwent restoration in 2014. The town became an important port in the 18th century, but declined by the early 20th century owing to its shallow harbour. Modern Cardigan is a compact and busy town with most facilities for retail, education, health, worship and sport.
In 1176, Cardigan Castle became the site of the first competitive Eisteddfod. Cardigan also hosted the National Eisteddfod of Wales in 1942 and 1976. The castle was for many years privately owned and became run down and derelict. The town council itself showed little interest in saving it. However, a group of volunteers and the local Catholic priest, Seamus Cunane, working separately, did raise its profile. Ceredigion County Council bought it in 2003. Cardigan castle is open to the public. There is luxury accommodation for hire, a heritage centre with education facilities, a restaurant, an events and open-air concert area, and there are rooms for hire for classes.
A bypass was constructed to the south-east of the town in 1989–90, including a new concrete bridge (Priory Bridge) over the River Teifi. Bus services link Cardigan with most nearby towns and villages in Ceredigion, Pembrokeshire and Carmarthenshire. Cardigan railway station was the terminus of the Whitland and Cardigan Railway, opened on 31 August 1886. The line, previously known as the Whitland and Taff Vale Railway, and later familiarly as the Cardi Bach, was built between 1869 and 1873. With the extension to Cardigan opening in 1886, operations were taken over by the Great Western Railway.

Cardigan Castle Restoration Work Update.
Work within the castle walls is now well under way.
Cardigan Castle opens to the public in 2015.
Cardigan Castle, with its 12th-century beginnings as an important stronghold in the ancient Welsh kingdom of Ceredigion, offers 21st-century visitors 900 years of history and a wealth of heritage. Decades of neglect left the site of Cardigan Castle in ruins but, after years of local campaigning, the castle is now in public hands. The castle is being brought back to life and is on course to open its doors in 2014 for community, recreational and educational uses. It will be a centre for learning the Welsh language, culture and crafts, as well as for environmental and horticultural studies. There will be a heritage centre with educational facilities, rooms to hire for training and educational purposes, an Eisteddfod garden with a wet-weather dome, an open-air concert area, a restaurant, and self-catering luxury accommodation.

The Welsh choral phenomenon that is Only Men Aloud has gone from strength to strength since they won BBC’s Last Choir Standing in 2008. With hundreds of thousands of album sales, nine UK tours, a Classical Brit Award for Album of the Year, countless TV appearances and several standout live performances including the opening ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games, we're delighted to bring Only Men Aloud to Cardigan Castle for the very first time this summer.
Côr y Wiber is a vibrant, young female choir from Newcastle Emlyn, West Wales. Founded in 2010 the choir have won Côr Cymru (2013), the female choir category at the National Eisteddfod (2012 & 2014), and the ‘choir up to 35 in number’ at the Denbighshire & District National Eisteddfod 2013.
Mae’r ffenomen gorawl Gymreig wedi mynd o nerth i nerth ers iddynt ennill Last Choir Standing y BBC yn 2008. Gyda channoedd o filoedd o werthiannau albwm, naw taith o’r DU, Gwobr Brit Clasurol am Albwm y Flwyddyn, ymddangosiadau teledu di-rif a niferoedd o berfformiadau byw penigamp gan gynnwys seremoni agoriadol Gemau Olympaidd Llundain 2012, mae’n bleser gennym gyflwyno Only Men Aloud i Gastell Aberteifi am y tro cyntaf yr haf hwn.

Aberteifi 2010 Cardigan: The Aberteifi Cardigan Launch Event
Short film from the launch event of the 'Aberteifi Cardigan' project. Part of the 2010 celebrations in Aberteifi, Ceredigion.
This project I feel has tapped into something very strong that is at the core of this community. I am excited and at the same time unsurprised at the wonderfully positive response from the women of
Cardigan, I know a lot of women who are compulsive knitters! I think it's in our genes to make things with fibre. There seems to be a bit of a buzz - this is something we can all do together, yet each piece
the product of an individual's own skills and creativity. As each piece of knitting comes back in - it brings with it the heritage of the skills of handwork learned through the years, passed down through
generations. Knitting is as much to do with heritage as the castle or the ships on the river, it is the heritage of wool, following the process from sheep through carding, spinning and knitting - from raw fleece spun into soft baby cardigan to wrap around and protect our next generation of little Cardi's. Why not make a Great Big One to celebrate that Welsh and British heritage, and knit the whole history of Aberteifi Cardigan into it as we go along using these skills passed on to us while we hear the tales of the towns rich history as we work. . .
