Guests from all over the world attend the magical Llangollen International Musical Eisteddfod in Wales.

Celebrating a wide range of folk music, song and dance, thousands of performers descend on this small town once a year in July.

The event includes over 20 competitions as well as a selection of shows from professionals.

This year's line-up features Elaine Page, All Angels and the Choir of the World Competition, in which entrants compete for the Pavarotti Trophy. The maestro competed for a trophy here in 1955 and returned in 1995 for a spectacular concert.

Other events to take place during the festival include a Celtic Day, Youth Day, Family Day and Children's Day.

Each year, the small town of 3,000 welcomes around 50,000 visitors for this much-loved celebration.

The friendly area is located in north-east Wales, nestled within the picturesque Dee Valley.
