This year, Bargoed will host a fully Welsh language Christmas celebration as St Gwladys’ partner with Menter Caerffili to host their Gwasanaeth Carolau.

Part of St Gwladys’ Christmas programme, the service on Monday 19^th December at 7pm will be followed by a chance to socialise over festive treats including mince pies and mulled wine.

Bethan Jones, Menter Caerffili, commented:

“Mae noson carolau Menter Caerffili yn gyfle i gymuned Sir Caerffili ddod at ei gilydd i ddathlu’r Nadolig drwy’r iaith Gymraeg. Mae’n wasanaeth i’r gymuned gan aelodau o’r gymuned Cymraeg yn y Sir, fe fydd darlleniadau a pherfformiadau gan unigolion a bydd carolau i’r gynulleidfa ymuno. Mae’r noson hefyd yn gyfle gwych i ddysgwyr dod at ei gilydd gyda siaradwyr rhugl i ddathlu. Wedi’r gwasanaeth bydd diod a mins pei ar gael. Mae’r gwasanaeth yn agored i bawb ymuno.”

The Menter Caerffili carol service is an opportunity for the Caerphilly county community to join together to celebrate Christmas through the Welsh language. It is a service for the community led by the Welsh speaking community and there will be readings and performances by individuals and carols for the everyone to join in. The evening is a fantastic opportunity for Welsh speaking learners to join with fluent speakers to celebrate. Afterwards there will be a drink and mince pies. The service is open for anybody to come along.
