Celebrate the 225th anniversary of the Brecon Canal with a magical lantern procession along the towpath in Llangattock.

Hosted by the Canal & River Trust, this festive event marks a special moment in canal history — 225 years since the first cargo of coal arrived in Brecon on Christmas Eve, 1800.

Enjoy a stunning display of life-sized illuminated lanterns, including a horse, swan, and otter, lighting up the canal and creating a truly enchanting evening for all ages.

After the walk, warm up at The Horseshoe Inn, where hot food and mulled drinks will be served.
