More than 147,000 people attended this year's National Eisteddfod, despite problems caused by heavy rain and traffic hold-ups at the start of the week.

More than 20,000 were on the Maes on Anglesey on Saturday - the highest number for the final day in eight years.

Organiser are now looking ahead to next year's event:

Next year we're going to be in Cardiff Bay, it's going to be different, but the idea is that we make it look like the Eisteddfod as it in in a field. So we use buildings that exist already, but also we'll build some buildings on in the area.
