Neath Great Fair 2023

Neath September Fair is the oldest in Wales and the 4th oldest in Britain. We at Resolven District News have been featuring the event every year in words and with pictures.

Our RDN photographer Mike Davies covered the event brilliantly.  Sadly, Mike is no longer with us, but this year his talented daughter Ruth, continued the family tradition and visited the Fair for us.

This is her report

These are my father’s good friends,. the baby wear stall holders outside the market.  My dad met up with them and took a picture every year for 15 years.  They didn’t know he  had passed away.

Haven’t really been anywhere since Dad, so it’s been an epic day.

I really had a good time
