One of South Wales’ major cultural events is returning to Neath Port Talbot for the month of July.
Neath Port Talbot Council’s popular Margam Festival, sponsored by Tata Steel and supported by Swansea Bay Radio, is being presented for the ninth year running.
The Festival promises to be an exciting programme of music, theatre and arts to accommodate all tastes.
Once again, the Festival will be spread throughout the month beginning with the Margam Market Day on Sunday, July 4, concluding with a magical performance of Romeo and Juliet on Saturday, July 31.
The programme this year contains successful acts of the past with the return of the ever popular West Glamorgan Youth Music, a Jazz Evening with Martin Shaw and The Dave Cottle Trio.
Back by popular demand, the stunning Classical Opera Supper with Soprano Ros Evans with a Finale of Fireworks.
With a Strictly Come Dancing night, Opera at the Castle and Dragon Strings with special guest star Michael Conway, there is something for everyone.
To bring more variation into the programme, we have introduced An Evening with Football Legend Tommy Docherty and Welsh Comedian Colin Price taking place on Thursday, July 22.
Noddy performs at The Princess Royal Theatre on Sunday, July 25 and Last Choir Standing Grand Finals are on July 9 – 10.
Council Leader, Ali Thomas, said, “Margam Festival is a much looked forward to event in the social calendar of Neath Port Talbot.
“Each year it becomes more popular attracting audiences from far afield.
“The programme this year promises to be even more diverse and enjoyable with many favourite artists returning to celebrate the Festival.”
