Cllr Maureen Webber, Rhondda Cynon Taf Council’s Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Council Business told us….
“Aberdare Festival is always a great way to start the Spring Bank Holiday as thousands of residents and visitors enjoy all the entertainment on offer as well as all the activities in Aberdare Park, such as the lake and boats and Aquadare splashpad.
Aberdare Park is just one of the beautifully maintained parks that we are so lucky to have in Rhondda Cynon Taf and provides the perfect backdrop for Aberdare Festival. Come along and enjoy a great day out for all the family.”
As soon as we find out more we’ll let you know, in the meantime you can keep up to date with the festival HERE
