The first event of the year, Ystrad Mynach Spring Fair, took place on Saturday 23rd March 2024.
Ystrad Mynach Town Centre saw an amazing 5,623 visitors on the day, with peak attendance being 995 at 12pm. This has been the busiest day of the year for the town so far, with there being 4,493 more visitors compared to the previous Saturday. Footfall was also higher than the last event that took place in Ystrad Mynach at Christmas.
There was a whole range of activities and entertainment at the fair including Easter Bunny meet and greet, Alice in Pantoland, The Mid Wales Ghostbusters, a petting farm, face painting, several food and drink stalls, and much more!
The positivity brought by the event greatly benefited the town centre, retailers, and the community.
