Wrap up warm and get ready for the Christmas season to kick off as the Ystrad Mynach Winter Fair comes to town on Saturday 15th November 2025!
This year’s Ystrad Mynach Winter Fair is set to bring a Christmas sparkle throughout the town centre on Saturday 16th November and Gelligaer Community Council are hosting a Santa’s Grotto so don’t forget your Christmas list!
The Ystrad Mynach Winter Fair will give you an opportunity to start your Christmas shopping early with a fantastic selection of approximately 30 food and craft stalls, which will run through the length of the town selling beautiful gifts from Christmas decorations and jewellery to tasty bakes and traditional festive treats.
A few small children’s funfair rides will be dotted around the town, with a feast of festive characters roaming the event site to keep the whole family entertained. A community stage with festive performances from local schools, choirs, bands and singers will also help to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.
As well as the stalls and entertainment, there’s a great range of independent town centre shops that the town has to offer. Grab your shopping bags and come along to join in the festive fun from 9am until 5pm!
The fair is also host to the magical Gelligaer Community Council Christmas Light Switch on at 5pm.
