Public meeting to be held ahead of Llangollen Eisteddfod
It will be held at Llangollen Pavilion, on Thursday, May 29 at 7pm.
Representatives from both the volunteer team behind the festival, and co-promoters Cuffe and Taylor, will be present to answer all questions, particularly issues around traffic management and noise.
The chairman of the Llangollen International Eisteddfod, John Gambles, said: "In just a few weeks' time, the doors of our iconic Pavilion will welcome tens of thousands of people for our TK Maxx presents Live at Llangollen Pavilion and the Llangollen International Eisteddfod events.
"This meeting will be an opportunity for Llangollen residents and businesses to get the latest information, as we gear up for a summer of fun.
"It's important to us to keep residents in the loop, to ensure the impact on our town is positive."
More than 50,000 people are expected to visit the events at the pavilion this summer, which will provide a huge boost to local businesses, organisers said.
Several measures are being introduced to ensure a safe environment for the public on event days, including a one-way system in some areas.
A dedicated phoneline will also be available for residents to contact the Eisteddfod team with any concerns during the festival.

Eagle-eyed bargain hunters have been flooding social media with their finds. One shopper posted in Facebook's Extreme Coupons and Bargains group, showing off trousers for £1, designer kids' sandals for £4 and Calvin Klein swimwear for just 70p, For reference, a similar Calvin Klein bikini bottom retails for £41, which means this eagle-eyed shopper saved herself a massive £40.30.

She's not the only shopper taking advantage of the massive sale. Another proudly revealed they had bagged a "Steve Madden handbag, reduced from £40 to £18". The discounts have become something of a cult event for savvy savers, with some shoppers even describing this summer's edition as 'the best one yet'. TikTok deal-hunting star Becky Chorlton, known to her 445,000 followers as @beckysbazaar, urged fans to 'run, run, run' to TK Maxx after finding items cheaper than car-boot sales.

Accessories can also be hit-and-miss, with some items missing pieces, like packs of clips with one short. Shoppers on TikTok and Facebook have been quick to share their 'yellow sticker flexes', with one bragging about a Juicy Couture set, another revealing they found a Zara dress for just 20p, and a third claiming they'd picked up a £230 Calvin Klein top for £13. With high-end brands including Kate Spade and Juicy Couture among the discounted labels, it's no surprise bargain hunters are dashing to stores to snap up deals before they're gone.

In a video on her @graceforell account, Grace broke down the things to look out for at some popular retailers. The savvy shopper claims you should look for a single digit on TK Maxx price tags. She added: 'The most common numbers are 1, 2 and 7. 'From what I've researched - '1' means the product was made specifically for TK Maxx - so is unlikely to be a 'wow bargain'. ''7' is a 'packaway' item - usually from a previous season. 'It's probably discounted.' However, she said you should really look out for a '2' as that is the 'thriftiest number.

Channel 4 star chef closing restaurant for good after just three months over ‘unforeseen circumstances'
The chef said it was closing due to 'unforeseen circumstances' DOORS SHUTTING Channel 4 star chef closing restaurant for good after just three months over 'unforeseen circumstances' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A CHANNEL 4 star chef has made the decision to close his restaurant for good after just three months. Chef Dom Taylor will shut up shop later this month at his Marvee's Food Shop in Ladbroke Grove, West London, due to 'unforeseen circumstances'. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Dom Taylor found fame as the winner of C4's Five Star Kitchen: Britain's Next Great Chef Credit: Instagram/@marveesfoodshop 3 Marvee's Food Shop will close after the Notting Hill Carnival Credit: Instagram/@marveesfoodshop The Caribbean restaurant just opened in May as part of the music and events space UNDR, near the famous Portobello Road. Taylor rose to fame as the winner of Channel 4's Five Star Kitchen: Britain's Next Great Chef. In a message on Instagram, Taylor said: 'Due to unforeseen circumstances, Marvee's Food Shop at UNDR will soon be coming to an end, after some fun this Carnival Weekend. 'We have a few remaining tables this Friday 22nd and Saturday 23rd, so make sure to come along and say your farewells (for now)! 'From 27th onwards the chefs who have been working with Dom at UNDR will continue serving up their own menu of Caribbean food, following the success of Marvee's so make sure to keep showing them your love! 'UNDR was the first home for Marvee's Food Shop, and we have loved welcoming all of our wonderful guests over the past few months. Watch this space!' Before opening Marvee's, Taylor had a 10-month residency with the Good Front Room restaurant at the Langham in central London. When it opened Taylor described it as a tribute to the traditional Caribbean takeaway. On the menu at Marvee's were Caribbean classics, including Bammy, a traditional cassava bread, and the Jamaican Festival, a deep-fried sweet bread, reinvented as waffles, with a selection of toppings including jerk chicken, crispy spiced banana blossom or boneless goat curry, The Caterer reports. Reviewing the restaurant for the Evening Standard, critic David Ellis gave it three stars, saying: 'The pork is good but perhaps no more than that.' Major BBC chef on why he'll never appear on TV again Earlier this month, a BBC‑featured chef abruptly closed down his UK Top 100 restaurant. Deri Reed has called time on The Warren admitted bluntly: 'it hasn't been working for some time" in a social media post. His eatery in Carmarthen, Wales, has long enjoyed acclaim - and not just from the critics. Last month as well, celebrity chef Roy Ner closed Jeru, his Mediterranean themed restaurant Jeru. It has been a tough time in hospitality with a number of celebrity chefs feeling the heat - and not just in the kitchen. Those to have closed sites include the ultimate celebrity cook, Gordon Ramsay, and renowned French chef Anne-Sophie Pic. Many of those shutting their doors have highlighted economic circumstances, which have made it increasingly difficult to make a profit. Expert analysis By Laura McGuire Experts say the cost of living crisis has left customers favouring a cheap dinner over splashing out on fancy evenings out in expensive restaurants, and this has made celeb chefs think twice about whether it's worth continuing to run their business. Paul Lochhead, managing director of Drinkstuff, told The Sun: "For celebrity chefs, these ventures are often passion projects rather than primary revenue sources. "If a restaurant isn't performing well, it may not be worth the continued investment, especially when compared to the other income streams they have." Dr Marc Stierand, director of the institute of business creativity at EHL Hospitality Business School, added that restaurants with one Michelin Star - of which there are around 170 in the UK - may struggle compared to top-end restaurants. "For restaurants with one-star, they are not 'cool' enough to attract international travellers. These restaurants could be empty most days, and the market is very weak now, so it's just far too expensive [to run them]," he explained. Do you have a money problem that needs sorting?
