For this year\u2019s Caerphilly Cheese Festival<\/strong><\/a>, why not join Caerphilly Workmen\u2019s Hall<\/strong><\/a> for a full day of live entertainment, great company and a fantastic festival atmosphere. And, if it rains, a solid, century-old roof will keep you (mostly) dry!<\/p>\n

The Hall will be open from 4 pm, with live music into the night. Whether you\u2019re looking for somewhere to relax with a drink, catch some brilliant live performances or simply soak up the festival spirit, the Hall is the perfect place to spend part of your Caerphilly Cheese weekend.<\/p>\n

This year, the celebrations will be going well into the evening on the Saturday, so when the festival starts winding down, the music doesn\u2019t have to stop. Join Caerphilly Workmen\u2019s Hall as they continue the party with more live entertainment in Caerphilly\u2019s iconic venue.<\/p>\n
