IF YOU'RE looking for something fun to do with the family this weekend, this might be just perfect for you. 

Pontypool's Party in the Park is returning for 2024 on Saturday, July 13 in Pontypool Park and promises to be a great day out for the whole family. 

With a variety of activities, and entertainment to keep the little ones occupied for the day, including Dinomania, inflatables, and face painting, it could be the perfect day out for the family. 

An Artisan village and range of food and independent business stalls will be on view for the older members of the family, while entertainment will be provided on the main stage by headliners Ka's Ska Soulband at 2pm. 

The event will run from 11am to 5pm and is free for everyone to attend. 

Activities and entertainment will be ongoing throughout the day on the upper and main field, the main stage, the children's field, band stand, tennis courts and Pontymoile Gates. 

Free tennis sessions will be held on the tennis courts by Torfaen Sports Development from 12.30pm to 2pm, while Torfaen Play will be on the children's field all day, joined by Louby Lou and the Busy Bees for a performance at 1.30pm. 

The upper field will be home to Animals Interactive, Mellin Homes Activities and Chill Out Space and Amgueddfa Torfaen Museum all day, along with the All Creatures Great and Small dog show at 2.30pm. 

The main field will host Dinomania, the Artisan Village and Food Stalls, the Tea Room Tent, Torfaen Sports Development, Torfaen Youth, Gwent Police's Gaming Van as well as a range of inflatables and games.

The event is being hosted and organised by Torfaen and Gwent Small Business Markets and Events, who also organised the popular Cwmbran Big Event in June this year, which saw a turnout of thousands.
