Happy 2024

Wishing you a very Happy 2024 from everyone at the Aberdare Market Quarter. We would like to say a huge thank you to all our customers who shopped with us last year and we hope to see you all, plus new customers and faces, in 2024. Your on-going support is crucial to maintain the vibrancy of the town centre. On-line can be convenient but on-street is so much more enjoyable and sociable!


As with last year the Market Quarter will be playing host to a wide range of activities and events throughout 2024, with events on the Market Yard such as Food Festivals, Music Festivals, Family Entertainment and much more.


The Market Company, Market Tenants Association and Our Aberdare BID representatives will be working hard to deliver a fun packed schedule for the town. We would love to see you there - look out for announcements and keep an eye on the Market Quarter website and facebook page for more details.


Here’s to a great 2024.
