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.

Annwyl Aelod CCD, mae 2025 bron a dod i ben. Da ni yn gobeithio gewch chi gyfarfod hefo teulu a ffrindiau and cael llawer o bleser ac mwynhad dros y Nadolig a’r Flwyddyn Newydd. Nadolig Llawen and Blwyddyn Newydd dda i bawb. Cymerwch ofal a hwyl fawr.

Dear EWS member, 2025 is drawing to a close. We hope that you are able to have lots of time and enjoyment with family and friends over the Christmas and New Year period. So please have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Take care and best wishes.

Nadolig Llawen / Merry Christmas

Amazingly, our 2025–26 season is now halfway through. It will reach its climax around 1 March with the traditional celebrations of our patron saint in both feast and song, as you’ll see from our Programme page. Meanwhile you can read reports on recent events, the St Andrew’s Day celebration and the carol service and party by clicking the links.
