Pontypridd & Rhondda Round Table

12/10/2026

With just 19 days to go until the Big Bang 2026 we wanted to thank our amazing sponsors and supporters.

Thanks to these organisations we have been able to HOLD our ticket prices for a FIFTH year running, despite the costs of putting on the Big Bang going up significantly.

With every penny made from the Big Bang going to charities working across RCT to make a difference - we know how important it is that we continue to raise as much money as possible, while keeping tickets affordable.

We have also worked with our food vendors with many offering CHEAPER prices than last year (as well as much more variety)

And we know its the little things that add up, so children can get FREE face painting this year (please arrive early as its sure to get busy)

Don't forget to get your tickets at www.pontybigbang.co.uk

🍻 18–45? LIVE LOCALLY? FANCY DOING SOMETHING A BIT DIFFERENT? 🍻

Let's be honest… once you hit adulthood, making new mates isn't exactly easy. 😂

Work. Kids. Bills. The same pub. The same people. Netflix.

So why not change it up a bit?

Pontypridd & Rhondda Round Table is looking for new members to come along, have a laugh, get involved and make some new mates along the way.

What do we actually do?

🍺 Get together socially twice a month — because apparently one night out isn't enough.

🎆 Help put on some cracking local events, including the Ponty Big Bang and our Santa Sleigh.

🎅 Dress up, embarrass ourselves and make kids' Christmases — sometimes all at the same time.

💷 Raise and donate money to local good causes, clubs, organisations and community groups.

🌍 Meet people from Round Tables around the world, with opportunities to travel, experience new things and push yourself outside your comfort zone.

And no, you don't need to be some sort of charity expert, businessman or community hero.

You just need to be a bloke aged 18–45 who fancies giving it a go.

You don't even have to know anyone.

Come along. Have a drink. Meet the lads. See what we're about.

Worst case? You've had a decent night out. 🍻

Best case? You've just found a new group of mates and something genuinely worthwhile to be part of.

👇 Drop us a message if you fancy coming along.

🍻 Good mates. Good times. Doing good.
