The most wonderful time of the year is nearly here, and one town is pulling out all the stops as it throws itself into the festive season. Caerphilly is currently preparing for its town centre to be buzzing with excitement and overflowing with festive fun this year, starting with its annual Winter Fair and River of Light Lantern Parade. Taking place on Saturday, November 30, 2024, the exciting event will whisk you straight into the heart of holiday cheer.
Imagine this: more than 60 bustling stalls filled with unique crafts, gifts, and gourmet treats waiting to be discovered; the scent of mouth-watering street food and sweet mulled wine wafting through the crisp winter air; and a cascade of glowing lanterns and explosive fireworks illuminating the streets and stunning Caerphilly Castle. But that's not all. Alongside the fair, Caerphilly has even more to explore and enjoy this festive season - making it the place to be in the run-up to Christmas 2024.
Shop 'til you drop Treating yourself and others is a big part of Christmas, and Caerphilly's award-winning shopping experience makes it a must-visit destination during the festive season. While the Winter Market will bring more independent and unique exhibitors to Caerphilly's town centre, there are many other stores and markets you should stop by. There's the Crafty Legs Craft Fair & Market at the cenotaph, and Castle Court Shopping Centre where you can find high-street stores alongside independent businesses.
There's the popular.
