Local Events
This section of Ystradgynlais Info lists events that we are aware of, occurring in the local area over the next few months. Also, as Ystradgynlais Info is owned by Ystradgynlais Volunteer Centre, we list events further afield that we are involved in (eg the Swansea Green Fayre). If you have any event (fayre, festival, concert, show, performance etc) that you would like us to list, please email ystradvolunteers@btconnect.com with full details and a contact name and number.
