A Summer-long extravaganza for all the family!

Residents throughout Pontypridd will have plenty to enjoy this Summer, with a jam-packed series of fun-filled events and activities for all ages provided by Pontypridd Town Council. 


Building on the success of last year’s Tymor yr Haf - Summer Season, this year’s programme is the Town Council’s biggest and boldest yet with a wide variety of activities, events and entertainment lined up all across Pontypridd from May to August. 


The Tymor yr Haf programme will visit communities across Pontypridd and take place 

in several venues throughout the area including Pontypridd Museum, Meadow Street Community Garden, and the Taff Meadow and Graig community centres. 


Working with the Pontypridd Brass Band Festival team, Tymor yr Haf kicks off with a Festival of Brass in May, with learner workshops, a full programme of both outdoor and indoor concerts, a music themed exhibition, a film night and an opportunity to come and try out a range of brass instruments from the smallest to the largest.


The first ever Tymor yr Haf Roadshow, packed with activities for all the family along with fantastic local entertainment will travel the area during both the May half-term and the school Summer holidays in July and August, visiting communities across Pontypridd. 


Pontypridd Museum’s popular family arts and craft activities return for the school holidays, with free sessions running throughout the Summer. 


During August, Pontypridd Museum, Meadow Street Community Garden, Taff Meadow and Graig community centres are hosting a variety of daytime and evening events, including music and talks, featuring a wealth of well-known Welsh talent and celebrating local artists, musicians, historians and raconteurs with something for everyone to enjoy. 


Councillor Lynda Davies said:


“We’re delighted to announce the return of Tymor yr Haf and to welcome back some Summer family-favourites along with introducing new events across all our locations throughout Pontypridd. From the museum in the town centre, to Meadow Street Community Garden and Taff Meadow and Graig community centres, we have activities and events planned for all the family to enjoy.


‘This Summer’s programme of events will be our most wide-ranging and far-reaching yet. We’re excited to visit so many different communities throughout Pontypridd and to bring some Summer fun along with us. With so many different events and activities, there truly is something for everyone, all summer long! We have a thrilling summer ahead of us.’ 


Event information will be posted on our social media in the coming weeks:
