Shw mae!
I’m going to be in Aberystwyth over the weekend of 31st Aug / 1st Sep. I’ve never been to Aberystwyth before, so I’m looking for suggestions for things to do and places to visit, ideally yn y Gymraeg. 
Also, if anyone wants to meet up while I’m there, let me know. 
First of all, I’ll be glad to see you again, Hishiv, so let me know here or by pm when you’ll be available.
Places to visit. Aberystwyth hosts the National Library of Wales (LLGC) which is certainly worth a visit. If you like narrow gauge train trips, an excursion on the Vale of Rheidol line to and from Devil’s Bridge / Pontarfynach is always worth it. Walking along the prom and ascending Constitution Hill on foot or by the Electric Railway is an enjoyable tradition. At the top of “Consti” there is a Camera Obscura which gives a spectacular view of the town below and Cardigan bay.
Don’t miss the Old College and the Castle and the harbour/marina.
Above the National Library of Wales you have the Penglais campus of the University which includes the Arts Centre. Here’s the What’s On page
You’ll have no difficulty finding opportunities to speak Welsh in Aber. It is a pleasing mixture of Gogledd and proper Welsh. 
I’ll leave others to recommend eating and drinking places.
Hoping to see you again soon. 
Diolch yn fawr for the suggestions Huw. 
I’ll definitely try to check some of those out.
I’ll send you a message about meeting up once I have a better idea of what my schedule will be like.
There’s a small museum which is interesting too.
Dylech chi ymweld a Siop y Pethe ac Amgueddfa Ceredigion.
I agree that Siop y Pethe and the Ceredigion Museum are both worth a visit. 
Here’s a reminder of forum policy on English only posts along with the explanation.
One other point - slightly unexpectedly for a forum about learning languages, we ask you not to post in your target language only - except on threads specifically for practising writing, like this one for Welsh: Be’ 'dach chi’n gwneud rwan? A phethau arall yn Gymraeg - A topic to practise Welsh, open to all!
We always have new learners arriving for the very first time, and if they see posts they can’t even begin to understand, they often feel less confident about posting themselves.
@HuwJones and anyone else who’s interested:
I’ve got plans to go to a Lindy Hop festival on the Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon, but apart from that my schedule is fairly flexible. So I can meet up with you during the day on Saturday, or Sunday morning / early afternoon (before 3pm).
How about meeting for coffee at 3.00 pm on Saturday?
One of my favourite (small Welsh-speaking) cafe’s is
Sophie Bach Tea & Coffee room 13 Cambrian Pl, SY23 1NT
Sounds great. See you there.
