There's just four days to go until Pontypool Party in the Park - and the next Torfaen Deal Village.
The free event organised by Pontypool Community Council includes a parade, live music, activity zones and market stalls.
It will also host the next Torfaen Deal Village, following its successful launch at the Cwmbran Big Event earlier this month.
Located in the Upper Field near the bandstand, the village will see community groups, third sector organisations and partners join council teams to help bring the Torfaen Deal to life.
Visitors will be able to explore how the council is working differently with local organisations to improve people's lives and a full programme of activities, including:
- A volunteering lounge
- Community-run activities
- Health and wellbeing activities with Halo Leisure
- Information on housing and support for young people (16–25) through Keys to Independence
- Recycling and reuse activities, including a recycling truck
- A reuse shop run by Wastesavers (cash only)
- Fostering Q&A
- Torfaen Museum showcasing its Memory Café
Visitors can also complete a quick survey for the chance to win three months’ free Halo Leisure membership.
Council Leader Anthony Hunt said: "I'd like to thank Pontypool and Cwmbran community councils for supporting the Torfaen Deal Village.
"These events bring people together, foster a sense of civic pride and well-being and boost the local economy which is very much in line with what the Deal is trying to achieve." which is what the Deal also hopes to achieve.
The Deal Village is part of the Torfaen Deal, a new approach focused on working in partnership with communities to create positive change.
