MORE than 85 craft stalls, live music - and even Santa himself - will pay Pontypool a visit as part of a Christmas Craft Fair.
The event on Saturday, November 19, organised by GW crafters and Pontypool’s indoor market, will be held across the town centre and market from 11am until 6pm.
To get visitors well and truly in the festive mood festive drinks will be served.

“Band The Unknown will close the event and Santa will be in in his grotto for the afternoon.
