Due to adverse weather conditions and forecasted high winds, sadly the outdoor cinema event at Cyfarthfa Park can no longer go ahead as planned. High winds mean it unsafe to erect and secure the large outdoor screen. We know this will be disappointing for ticketholders, but we are determined to bring you a great alternative cinema event!
We are pleased to announce we have partnered with Clwb Crown to move the films onto their indoor screen at the venue on Penry Street.
While we’ll miss the beautiful surroundings of Cyfarthfa Park, moving the screenings indoors to Clwb Crown ensures we can offer a fun, dry and safe experience for everyone to come together during Autumn Half Term, despite the weather.
What does this mean for ticketholders?
-
All tickets will be automatically transferred and will be valid for the event at Clwb Crown. You do not need to do anything.
-
If you paid for parking at Cyfarthfa Park, a full parking refund will be processed automatically.
