Merthyr Tydfil is one of Wales's most historic and vibrant towns. From the iron-forging heritage of the Trevithick Trail to the stunning backdrop of the Brecon Beacons, there is a huge amount happening year-round that often goes under the radar.
We have incredible venues — the intimate live music nights at Clwb Crown, world-class theatre at Theatr Soar, family events at Cyfarthfa Castle & Park, outdoor adventure at Rock UK Summit Centre, and steam railway days at Brecon Mountain Railway. The town's event scene deserves to be celebrated.
We built What's On Merthyr Tydfil because we believe locals and visitors shouldn't have to chase events across social media, Facebook groups and venue websites. Everything should be in one place — free, up to date, and easy to browse.
