The famous Nos Galan Races commemorate the Welsh runner Guto Nyth Bran and his legendary athletic prowess. Stories of Guto include how he could catch a bird in flight, and how on one occasion he ran to Pontypridd and back, some seven miles, before the kettle boiled.

Mountain Ash and District Choral Society is one of the oldest mixed choirs in South Wales with its roots dating back to 1964. As the name suggests, although based in Mountain Ash, we draw members from as far afield as Cardiff, Merthyr and Glynneath. Rehearsals are held every Wednesday evening (during school term time) in Bethania chapel vestry in Phillip Street, Mountain Ash. Although we currently number more than 70 members, we’re actively seeking new members, particularly tenor and bass voices.
