Discover the home of Aberdare Festival – there’s so much on offer in Aberdare Park!
Over 150 years old, this beautifully preserved Victorian park is packed with charm, history, and plenty to explore. Take a leisurely stroll around the boating lake, enjoy a game on the bowling greens or tennis courts, or let the little ones run wild in the play area and take advantage of the amazing splash pad in summer!
History lovers will find plenty to admire too. The Gorsedd Circle from the 1956 National Eisteddfod still stands proudly, while the stunning cast iron fountain, one of only three in the whole world, was created to mark the Coronation of King George V. And on sunny days, there’s nothing quite like relaxing to the sound of local bands performing on the bandstand.
Looking for something a little more exhilarating? Visit the park in July and experience the thrill of the Aberdare Park Road Races, where motorcycles race around the famous National Road Racing circuit for an unforgettable show!
Aberdare Festival has become a huge part of the park for many years. Each May, some of the best tribute acts, children’s performers, entertainers, food, craft and information stalls take over the park and create a perfect day out for all of the family. Keep an eye on our page and socials for announcements on the next Aberdare Festival!
Whether you’re after a peaceful escape or high-speed excitement, Aberdare Park has something for everyone.
