Santa Claus is coming to town – Aberdare to be exact!
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council is getting set for the festive season, preparing for Santa to drop into all of its major towns as part of its action-packed Christmas calendar.
There will be fun and festive frolics in Aberdare town centre on Thursday, November 24, from 2pm onwards.
Visit Father Christmas in his Grotto at Aberdare Library from 2pm. Other attractions throughout the day will include Street Entertainers and a Funfair, followed at 6.30pm with Santa leaving his Grotto and jumping on his sleigh!
He will then be pulled through the streets of Aberdare by his trusty team of reindeer, helping switch on the town’s festive lights on the Christmas Tree, which is situated at the bottom of Canon Street, opposite Lloyds Bank.
Cllr Maureen Webber, Cabinet Member for Community Engagement and Council Business, said: “Christmas is a great time for families. It is also the time of year when communities come together to enjoy the festive season.
“We hope as many people as possible will come out and take part in the fun we have planned – together we can make it a day to remember.”
