    2025 marks a significant milestone as Blaenavon celebrates 25 years as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. To honor this achievement, the community has come together to create a year-long programme of events, activities, and opportunities for everyone to enjoy.

  • People participating in a parade on a busy street, holding colorful banners with children's drawings and writing, wearing bright orange and beige clothing, with onlookers lining the sides of the street.

    From special Lighting Up 25 Years of World Heritage events to exploring our historic attractions, there’s something for everyone to experience. Whether you're a visitor or a local, this is the perfect time to discover the rich heritage and culture that make Blaenavon unique.

  • A street parade with a marching band playing instruments, surrounded by a large crowd of spectators on both sides of the street, colorful bunting and balloons overhead.

    We invite you to be part of this incredible celebration. Join us at an event, visit one of our many attractions, or take part in the exciting opportunities happening throughout the year. We look forward to celebrating with you!
