While the festive season is not quite upon us JUST yet, we are excited to share details of our town centre events taking place throughout November and December!
This year will see our first Mini Festive Fair in Caerphilly town centre on Friday 21st November to coincide with the town’s Christmas Lights Switch-On, with the annual River of Light Lantern Parade & Fireworks Display also taking place the same day.
The standalone Caerphilly Christmas Market will then take place on Saturday 29th November.
