A LITTLE RAIN WON’T STOP THE FUN!

We’re expecting some rain in the morning tomorrow, but the forecast is looking drier for the afternoon — and with lots of our activities and workshops under cover, the weather won’t spoil the day!

At around 21°C, it should still feel fairly warm, with a light to moderate breeze. So grab a mac or an umbrella and come prepared for a fantastic day of family fun!

The event is continuing as normal, and we can’t wait to welcome everyone to Fantasy Fun Day!

11am–4pm | King Square & Central Park, Barry

24/08/2026

A fantasy-themed fun day awaits visitors to Central Park on Thursday.

Barry Town Council's annual free event returns to Central Park this week.
