Organisations such as the Play and Sports Development Team, Dewis Cymru, Early Help Team, Flying Start, Mudiad Meithrin, Communities for Work Plus and many more supported the event.

The organisations engaged with families about their services, whilst offering Christmas activities. Children had the chance to meet Father Christmas.

They also watched dance performances from two local dance groups: Razzle Dazzle Dance, and Bliss Dance.

Younger Children also participated in a Welsh Language singalong with Mudiad Meithrin.
