COUNTRYSIDE MARQUEE
You're invited to the ambassadors party being held in the countryside marquee. Find out why you should be proud of your local countryside and have a go at our countryside crafts. Meet the Rangers who help manage it. They will be leading fun games and activities throughout the day helping you to get the most out of a visit to the countryside. Prizes to be won and freebies to be collected. You can relax in the countryside picnic site next door, away from the hustle and bustle of the main site. Over 80% of the county borough is countryside - discover Caerphilly and be an ambassador for you natural environment.
