Pontypridd will host an outdoor cinema as part of the town's Christmas light switch-on this festive season.
Organised by Dark Skies Cinema, Quite Scary Productions Ltd and Pontypridd Town Council, the event will form a part of the annual Christmas lights ceremony and fireworks in Pontypridd Town Centre.
