Bargoed town centre will once again become Caerphilly County Borough’s hottest music venue this July with the return of the Bargoed Summer Music Festival on Saturday 11th July!

Featuring several busking areas throughout the town centre and linking in with Bargoed venues like The Square Royale, Murray’s, Emporium Snooker Club and Bourton’s Live Music Café Bar, this event is the perfect opportunity to get your toes tapping and let loose!

There will be drinking compounds throughout the town alongside these key venues, and a selection of bars on Lowry Plaza and Hanbury Square. (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 is a Caerphilly County Borough Council organised event, financially suppored by Bargoed Town Council and Caerphilly County Borough Council.
