Every year Pontypool Community Council organises and sponsors the Pontypool Christmas Cavalcade in the town,usually held at the end of November or the beginning of December.
Members of the public visit Pontypool town flock to see the colourful spectacle which includes Santa in his horse drawn carriage, marching bands, street entertainers, dancers, jazz band and walkers dressed as various seasonal characters.
Calling all children under the age of 11 - Why not enter the colouring competition to win yourself a chance to ride alongside Santa in his horse drawn carriage for the 2009 parade! You will find the Colouring Competition in the Cavalcade leaflet.|
The general public are encouraged to add to the fun by dressing up. Celebrities are invited to turn on the Christmas lights and in the past guest have included TV weather presenter Derek Brockway and Roy Noble. Last year we had Noddy and gang out in force throughout the town offering entertainment and finishing the day off with switching the Christmas lights on at the Link. Despite the weather interuptions the day was a complete success and one of the biggest turn out's we have ever had. So come on lets make it an even bigger one this year, whoever you are and what ever your ages, come along to Pontypool Town
