Events

Singing is not unusual in Wales.

Word has got around about the Stereophonics and the Lost Prophets.

Tom Jones is a Pontypridd boy. When he sang at his local park a few years ago we were delighted to welcome him back to his own green, green, slightly muddy grass of home.

It’s not just open air music though. There are seasonal extravaganzas, fetes and festivals - Nos Galan, the Full Ponty, Big Bite and Big Welsh Bite as well as unique events like the Marie Llwyd and Beating the Bounds and events in Aberdare Park and Ynysangharad War Memorial Park… it’s all happening here in Rhondda Cynon Taf.

Over 100 events a year.

Here are some of the highlights of our 2008 Summer Events programme...
