Hot off the press!! We're looking forward to a great day Saturday. It's an opportunity for the community to come together, for these beautiful trees to be planted and to enjoy some delicious cake!

A tree planting project is set to get under way in Penarth as conservation efforts gain momentum.

Are you free to help with scything the top meadow at The Kymin on Saturday 13th September, from 10am?

It’ll be our fourth annual scythe!

Learn and practice this beautiful, ancient art, and support the increasing of biodiversity too.

Scything involves more than just scything... There's raking and barrowing hay around as well...

So if you don't really fancy using a scythe but would like to come along, you can still take part.

And tea and cake helpers also welcome!

It's a whole community exercise 💚

Always an enjoyable, and rewarding activity! Please be sure to wear sturdy shoes and long trousers!

🎶😎🥳 Summer Festival is almost here! With a great lineup of performers and activities throughout the day, it's sure to be a fantastic!

Friends of the Kymin will be running several activities through the day:

12.45 - Mini Bioblitz on the Lower Boules Court

2pm - Mini Bioblitz

2.30 - Walk & Talk around the Kymin, family friendly - meet Lower Boules Court

3.35 - Friends of the Kymin talk - Talks Tent

4pm - Walk & Talk round the Kymin - meet outside the talks tent

🤔 Wondering what a bio blitz is? ...

Join the Friends of the Kymin to explore our rewilded area and learn about the wild plants that have made their home here. How many can you identify? We'll learn a little about how rewilded spaces like these in towns and cities can be incredible biodiversity hotspots. And if you ever wondered: How did that plant get that name? - we have answers for you, in English and in Welsh! Meet on the lower boules court, by the raised beds. Suitable for families.

Full lineup for the Penarth Town Council festival can be found at
