Events
Singing is not unusual in Wales, word has got around about the Stereophonics and the Lost Prophets and 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… it’s all happening here in Rhondda Cynon Taf.
Over a 100 events a year
There are more than 140 exciting events and festivals every year, ranging from summer celebrations like the fabulous food fest The Big Bite to winter specials like Christmas Parades, which are held in towns across the county borough and the annual Nos Galan Road Races, held on New Year’s Eve in Mountain Ash.
Amazing Music Events
Annual music events, such as The Full Ponty and Tribute in the Park, celebrate the great musical talents of the area, while lazy summer Sunday afternoons, can be spent listening to local bands showcase their talent across the region, through our Music in the Park programme.
Surprising Sporting Events
Sporting tastes are catered for with a Triathlon, Golf Tournament, Field Archery and Aberdare Motorbike Races, all held annually, and for the dedicated shopper, Farmers Markets are held regularly in towns across the area.
Local events capture the community spirit of the people of Rhondda Cynon Taf, where you can join in with fete fun and street carnivals, so for a real Welsh welcome come along and join us.

- The Full Ponty
- The Lost Prophets, The Automatic.
- The Big Welsh Bite
- Mmm… Mmm… Mmm… Just a taster of the Big Welsh Bite held every August in Ynysangharad Park! Welsh food and craft stalls, childrens’ attractions and funfair rides, falconry, animal displays, bands, farm vehicles, music, pony harnessing, weaving, local produce taster sessions and angling demonstrations are just some of the attractions on offer every year.
- Nos Galan
- Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a steam kettle and able to catch a bird in flight.
- Aberdare Road Races
- Every year, the peace and tranquillity of Aberdare Park is replaced with the roar of motorcycle engines and the excitement of spectators as the annual Aberdare Park Road Races return.
