Funfair rides
To round off a month of fun-filled activities and events, there will also be funfair rides and stalls available in the centre for the last three days of August at Gwent Square.
Paul Rich, Centre Manager at Cwmbran Shopping said: “We want to enjoy the summer with our local community and provide daily entertainment throughout the holidays, for the whole family to enjoy together. We’re hoping that people will come down to Cwmbran Shopping to explore what’s on offer, and even try their hand at something new. We’re also excited that people will be able to jump on board our land train with their children and see the centre from a completely different perspective.”
