Pontardawe Chamber of Trade & Commerce at the Pontardawe Festival

The Town of Pontardawe came alive on Friday evening and in the daytime on Saturday with craft and community stalls, the Neath Port Talbot ‘Rolling Zone’ for the youngsters, the ‘Wave’ stage for local and not so local musicians, dance teams from around Wales and Europe.
The Chamber of Trade & Commerce and Pontardawe Arts Centre worked closely with the Music Festival to produce a spectacular Torchlight Procession on the Friday evening and a breathtaking Carnival procession on the Saturday afternoon which meandered through the streets and ended up in the Pontardawe Music Festival site.
The ‘Road Train’ was a huge success, ’toot tooting’ its way from outside the Arts Centre to the Leisure Centre, ferrying the street Summer Festival goers to the Music festival and back again.
Gwenda Thomas AM said it was a wonderful event and was delighted to have supported the Chamber of Trade’s successful bid to the Awards for All Wales to hire the train to connect the two parts of the festivities in Pontardawe.
