Bargoed Summer Festival Music 2024

July 6, 2024 9:00am - July 6 2024, 7:30pm

Bargoed town centre will become Caerphilly County Borough’s hottest new music venue this July with the very first Bargoed Summer Music Festival!

This brand-new event will consist of a main music stage on Lowry Plaza and four busking areas throughout the town centre; linking in with The Square Royale, Murray’s/Emporium Snooker Club and Bourton’s Live Music Café Bar to bring the whole town centre to life!

There will be drinking compounds throughout the town alongside these key venues, and a selection of bars on Lowry Plaza. (Please note: alcohol cannot be consumed anywhere onsite – consumption of alcohol is permitted in the designated drinking compounds only.)

In addition, funfair rides and plenty of food and drink stalls will be onsite to help create the perfect day to relax, dance and have some summertime fun!

Don’t forget to also check out what Bargoed’s fantastic town centre businesses and venues will have on offer in celebration of the day, as well as Crafty Legs Events’ Bargoed Craft Fair & Market!

This event is funded by Bargoed Town Council and organised by Caerphilly County Borough Council.
