Ystrad Mynach Christmas Market 2026

Wrap up warm and celebrate the festive season as the Ystrad Mynach Christmas Market comes to town on Saturday 5th December 2026!

The Ystrad Mynach Christmas Market will give you an opportunity to do some Christmas shopping with a fantastic selection of food and craft stalls, which will run through the length of the town selling beautiful gifts from Christmas decorations and jewellery to tasty bakes and traditional festive treats.

A few small children’s funfair rides will be dotted around the town, with a feast of festive characters roaming the event site to keep the whole family entertained. A community stage with festive performances from local schools, choirs, bands and singers will also help to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.

As well as the stalls and entertainment, there’s a great range of independent town centre shops that the town has to offer. Grab your shopping bags and come along to join in the festive fun from 9am until 5pm!
