Brecon plays host to many events every year, including the renowned Brecon Jazz and Brecon Baroque Festivals, Brecon County Show, and the colourful annual Gurkha Freedom Parade. There are many other events in and around the town that will be mentioned on this website.
Brecon’s military history has strong connections with the Zulu conflict and the Regimental Museum of The Royal Welsh on The Watton is well worth a visit. The colours (flag) that were carried at Rorke’s Drift can be seen in Brecon cathedral.
After a day out in our fresh Welsh air you might enjoy a show at Theatr Brycheiniog or a film at The Coliseum, Brecon’s independent cinema.
