All listings are free
Any event in or around Merthyr Tydfil can be listed at no cost. We review every submission and aim to publish within 24 hours.
Most local venues are already in our database — browse our venues list to check. If yours is there, just pick it from the dropdown and the address fills in automatically.
Not listed? No problem — choose "My venue isn't listed — type it in" at the bottom of the dropdown and enter the venue name and address yourself. If it's a venue that hosts regular events, you can also add it to our venue directory so it gets its own page.
The full name of your event exactly as you'd like it to appear on the site and in Google search results. e.g. Bingo Lingo – Outdoor Summer Special
