Croeso i Bontypridd - Welcome to Pontypridd!
Plaid Cymru Pontypridd, along with the rest of the town welcomes the rest of the country to our special corner of Wales. We are sure you will have a great time.
Ponty has much to offer visitors, great food pubs, clubs and bars as well as the famous market. Also, make sure you take time to pop along to the Mill Street Quarter that is hosting some fabulous fringe events during Eisteddfod week.
Plaid Cymru has an office in the town (2 High Street) which we share with Heledd Fychan Member of the Senedd for South Wales Central. You can't miss us if you catch the train on your visit.
During the Eisteddfod week, we have:
- a stand on the Maes
- three meetings in the Societies Tent
- two receptions in Clwb Y Bont (invite only)
We would love to see you so please come along and introduce yourself.
If you want to volunteer for Plaid at this year's eisteddfod please get in touch and email [email protected]
Finally our top-tip for getting to the Maes - catch the train! Parking is very limited and traffic in the town can often be heavy so as the slogan goes "Let the Train Take the Strain!"
