eisteddfod

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'reading festival?' is the definition.
'eisteddfod' can be an answer for 'festival?' (eisteddfod is a kind of festival). I'm not certain of the 'reading' bit.

'harry fed toddies' is the wordplay.
'harry' indicates anagramming the letters (harry can mean to attack or spoil).
'fed'+'toddies'='fedtoddies'
'fedtoddies' anagrammed gives 'EISTEDDFOD'.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eisteddfod that I've seen before include "Welsh arts festival" , "Welsh cultural festival" , "arts competition" , "Welsh festival of music and poetry" , "Welsh art festival" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
