About this venue
Old Park Farm is an open-air festival venue in Margam, designed for larger music, entertainment and cultural gatherings on a spacious rural site. Its appeal is not based on traditional arena architecture, but on an outdoor setting that allows stages, audience areas and supporting facilities to be arranged according to the needs of each event.
The visitor experience is shaped by a true festival atmosphere: the broad site makes movement easier, while the open format gives events a more relaxed rhythm than enclosed arenas. For concerts and festivals, the layout is especially valued for clear spatial orientation, the possibility of multiple service points and the feeling of a venue suited to longer stays.
The venue is located at Old Park Farm, Water Street, Margam, Port Talbot, United Kingdom. For access to the entrance, it is best to check the event organiser’s official instructions in advance, especially details about parking, temporary entrances and pedestrian routes on event days.

About the city
Port Talbot, located on the coast of Swansea Bay in South Wales, is a town that combines industrial character, a coastal atmosphere, and a practical position for visits to sports and concert events. Although it is known for its strong working and port tradition, it is increasingly standing out as a good starting point for events in the town itself, around Swansea Bay, and in the larger arenas of South Wales. The proximity of the coast, stadiums, theatre venues, and regional concert locations makes Port Talbot an interesting choice for visitors who want to combine an event with a short seaside stay.
The town’s main transport point is Port Talbot Parkway railway station, located close to the centre and well connected by rail services running toward Swansea, Cardiff, and other parts of South Wales. The town uses a network of local and regional bus routes, including services operated by First Cymru, while Port Talbot Bus Station is a practical point for arrivals and transfers. For air travel, Cardiff Airport and, depending on the route, Bristol Airport are most commonly used, with onward travel by train, bus, or car. Thanks to its position beside the M4 motorway and the South Wales Main Line railway, reaching local sports grounds, halls, theatres, and larger stadiums in the region remains simple and straightforward.
Before or after a concert, match, or other event, Port Talbot offers several pleasant places for relaxation and sightseeing. Aberavon Beach and its long seafront promenade are ideal for an easy walk by the sea, while Margam Country Park brings together greenery, historic buildings, and open spaces. Nature lovers can also explore Afan Forest Park, known for its forest trails, cycling routes, and calmer atmosphere outside the town centre. This combination of coastline, green spaces, and good transport connections makes Port Talbot a practical and rewarding destination for event visitors in South Wales.
