A free one-day Christmas market in Caerphilly town centre beside the castle, with food, craft and gift stalls, street theatre and funfair rides.

Caerphilly's council-run Christmas market takes over the town centre around the castle for a Saturday in late November. There are food, craft and gift stalls, street food and mulled wine, street theatre and funfair rides for children.

Smaller markets run alongside it on the day, including a craft fair at the Cenotaph and a craft and food market at the Castle Court shopping centre. The market itself is free; normal admission charges apply if you visit Caerphilly Castle.

The council sets up free extra parking at St Martin's School and Ysgol Gyfun Cwm Rhymni y Gwyndy, with overflow parking at Owain Glyndwr playing field when the weather allows; the Caerphilly Park and Ride is also free. Expect road closures and bus diversions in the centre on the day.
