In a case in June 2011, with new English property managers of the Royal Oak club in Penrhyndeudraeth, consumers left the bar in anger and were threatened with an airgun after being informed to stop ordering their drinks in Welsh. The club consequently had a change of management. The Penrhyndeudraeth Children as well as Youth's Chaired Eisteddfod is held each year at the Memorial Hall. The village is residence to the Snowdonia National Park Authority head office.

Remains of old huts can be discovered near Ty 'n y Berllan, which date back to the Bronze Age. Penrhyndeudraeth's Alun 'Sbardun' Huws wrote a tune, Strydoedd Aberstalwm (approximately "roads of long ago"), in tribute to the village. His popular band Y Tebot Piws also recorded their farewell cd at Penrhyndeudraeth Memorial Hall in 2011.
