Simon Gale, Director of Prosperity and Development at Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, said: “We are so pleased to see the return of our What’s On RCT events programme.

“It has been a difficult few years and we are looking forward to bringing people together in beautiful destinations such as Ynysangharad War Memorial Park and Aberdare Park and our town centres, for events.

“We really do have something for everyone, from the dinosaurs and land train at Aberdare Festival to the food-lovers’ paradise that is the Big Welsh Bite.

“As well as being a great way for us to bring our communities together and celebrate life in Rhondda Cynon Taf, it’s also a chance for us to showcase our county borough to a wider audience, attracting visitors from further afield to spend time here and explore.” 

Wayne Griffiths, Managing Director of Nathaniel Cars, said “Nathaniel MG is delighted to be an official partner for Rhondda Cynon Taff Council's vibrant events programme for 2022.

"With so many exciting and varied events planned, the partnership perfectly matches MG's diverse product offering. We're especially looking forward to interacting and engaging further with our many valued customers in the area and introducing our exciting and affordable range of MG electric vehicles, including the award-winning 100% electric MG ZS EV, the best-selling electric car in Wales.”
