Cwmbran Big Event pictures from over the years

The event was cancelled due to the coronavirus, replaced instead with an Online Big Event hosted across Cwmbran Community Council's social media channels.

Much like previous years, the event will feature entertainment from local performers, a dog show showcasing the town’s most talented canines, and information from council partners on the help and support available for residents.
