The Armidale Eisteddfod committee
25th Feb 2025

The Armidale Eisteddfod continues to be one of the feature events on Armidale’s cultural calendar. Entries are now open and the Eisteddfod hosts a variety of sections and events for a wide range of ages and abilities. The Armidale Eisteddfod offers its audiences plenty of variety. Entries close on Friday 21 March.
The competition program runs from Wednesday 14 May to the 6 June. Choir Night, Band Night and the New England Championships are popular highlights. The Gala Concert this year is scheduled for Sunday 15 June at 2pm in the historic auditorium of the Old Teacher’s College.
The Eisteddfod commences each year with Music Composition, which includes the presentation of composer’s works and a workshop. Held on the 14th of May at the Old Teacher’s College the event generally attracts a full audience. It is an excellent way for composers young and old to showcase their works and receive feedback.
Committee President Elizabeth Peach said that the Armidale Eisteddfod continues to be an important performance opportunity for those in our community involved in music and drama.
The majority of the Eisteddfod events are held in the Old Teachers’ College Auditorium. Admission ranges from $3 for a child’s single session up to $40 for an adult’s season ticket. Family passes for the duration of the Eisteddfod are $80 which means the whole family can attend as many sessions as they wish prior to the Gala Concert. The Gala Concert is $5 for children and $10 for adults.
