Rownd a Rownd (English: "Round and Round") is a Welsh soap opera created by Rondo Media (formerly Ffilmiau’r Nant) and shown on S4C since 11 September 1995. It was claimed to be the first Celtic-related language soap specifically directed at a youth audience. It is set in the fictional harbour town of Glanrafon in Anglesey.

At its inception, the soap was targeted towards an adolescent and young adult audience. It has since broadened its appeal but the main focus remains on the younger characters. Beginning with a small cast of characters, the serial now has upwards of thirty cast members.

The soap is consistently in the top 20 most watched programmes of the week on S4C,^[2] the show currently averaging around twenty thousand viewers per episode.^[3] Two episodes are produced each week; since February 2020 these have been broadcast at 20:25 on Tuesdays and Thursdays (with the previous episode being repeated at 18:30). In addition, a weekly omnibus with in-vision English language subtitles airs on Sunday daytime. Every summer Rownd a Rownd takes a two-month seasonal break, finishing in mid-July and restarting in September to coincide with the new academic year.
