A fun-filled day of free music and entertainment through town, Brecon With Bells On is the annual event that celebrates the switching on of the town lights and heralds the start of the build-up to Christmas.

When the Brecon Festival Ballet performed its inaugural show of The Nutcracker at Theatr Brycheiniog in December 2019, it notched up a lot of firsts. The show has gone from strength to strength and 2024 sees it returning for 5 shows just before Christmas.
