St David's Day Crafting

What a special day it was as Crafts and Giggles hosted our first event at Cwmbran Shopping Centre of 2026 — and what a welcome we received!

Families gathered to celebrate St David’s Day, and from the moment the event began, the centre was filled with sunshine, laughter and that unmistakable buzz of community spirit. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. With bright blue skies overhead it felt like the whole town had come out to join the celebration.

Our St David’s Day crafts were great fun, with children excitedly getting creative and proudly showing off their colourful makes. The tables were full all day, and the giggles never stopped.

Beyond the crafting fun, there was so much to enjoy. Face painting added an extra sprinkle of magic, transforming little faces into wonderful works of art. Music filled the air and created such a joyful atmosphere, while a fantastic performers kept families entertained and gathered crowds of smiling onlookers. The much-loved train ride brought waves and excitement as it made its way around the centre, and the markets added to the lively, welcoming feel of the day.

Every corner of the shopping centre felt alive. It was busy in the very best way — buzzing with conversation, creativity and community. Seeing families spending time together, celebrating Welsh traditions and making happy memories is exactly why we love what we do.
