Rhydian Roberts and S4C head for the Llandudno area for a bumper fortnight of events as part of St David’s Day celebrations.

Pop superstar Rhydian, who came second in the 2007 X Factor competition, will be appearing in a special S4C concert in the seaside town, which will be broadcast later this year.

Other highlights include the annual Cân i Gymru (Song for Wales) competition, hosted by Sarra Elgan and Rhodri Owen, and broadcast live on S4C from Venue Cymru, Llandudno on 1 March.

Welsh learners from the Llandudno area are invited to a special evening to find out more about S4C’s exciting new interactive service for learners at www.s4c.co.uk

The Learners’ Evening at Llandudno’s Imperial Hotel on Monday, 9 March (7.00pm) will include a preview of S4C’s fascinating new series about India, Angell yn India, presented by presenter and stand-up comic Beth Angell.

S4C activities, which begin on Monday 23 February and continue up until Thursday 5 March, also include a schools tour and an opportunity for children to visit S4C’s Cyw nursery service bus.
