Welcome
The Society was founded in 1920 with the object of providing opportunities for Welsh people in Edinburgh to meet socially and to continue their interest in the language and culture of Wales.
Membership is not restricted to those of Welsh origin. Anyone with an interest in Welsh culture is welcome to become a member and attend meetings.
Our president and speakers Idwal and Bethan Williams
Our 2024–25 season reached its climax with the traditional celebrations of our patron saint in both feast and song – you can read reports on the Cinio Gwyl Dewi and the Gymanfa ganu by clicking the links – and we held our AGM by Zoom back in April. The discussion there generated an encouraging number of ideas for forthcoming events, and some of them have been incorporated in our programme for 2025–26, which you can find on our Programme page.
The next event in that programme is our Croeso supper party on Friday 19 September. Details in the latest EWSNEWS and on our Newsletter page. Please plan to join us, and note that Jennifer now needs numbers by Friday 12 September!
