We had a wonderful surprise today to learn that we’ve won a Mayor’s Citizenship Award.

When we started Coity Festivals over ten years ago we didn’t do it for awards we did it and continue to do it because the events we’ve put on, particularly Jam in the Castle, bring the community together and have raised many thousands of pounds for local good causes.

We are deeply honoured to receive this and would like to dedicate it to everyone who has made our events so successful.

The hundreds of helpers, volunteers, performers and sponsors. The thousands of people who have attended, Cadw and everyone who have enabled the raising of tens of thousands of pounds for such worthy causes.

But we have to give particular thanks to the community who have provided so much support.

The last ten years have been so rewarding and such good fun, we’ve loved every minute.

Thank you all from the bottom of our hearts.

Here’s to the next ten years!

Today we made our final donation from this year’s Jam in the Castle. £500 to Sandville Self Help Foundation Bridgend, which helps people with life limiting and life changing conditions.
Our thanks again to our sponsors and all who assisted in any way to make this years Jam such a success once again. Amanda, Diane, Sue, Bernard, Martin and Steve.

03/11/2023

Today Sue and Steve Pells from Coity Festivals went along to the Bridgend branch of The Wallich to present our donation of £1,000.
The Wallich is a Welsh charity which helps those without homes find accommodation and get back on their feet.

01/11/2023

Today we visited Y Bwthyn Newydd, Bridgend's palative care unit to make a donation of £1,000 to help Macmillan's with their essential work.

22/10/2023

Some more photos from tonight’s donations to our chosen charities. We tried to cover a wide range of those charities and needy organisations that don’t attract a lot of publicity. There were some inspiring stories told and everyone was supporting all those there.

22/10/2023

One of our chosen good causes this year is Lads and Dads. If you want to support them then please follow this link!

Weʼre raising money to Lads and Dads CIC. Support this JustGiving Crowdfunding Page.

22/10/2023

We are so proud to announce that thanks to the hard work of everyone who volunteered and supported this year’s Jam in the Castle that this evening we have donated £6,500 to 8 amazing local good causes.

Coety Primary school.
Tremains ALN class
Coity Chiefs GFC
Hope Rescue
The Wallich
Y Bywddyn Newydd
Sandville
Lads and Dads

Have all benefitted thanks to everyone who supported and of course everyone who attended.

We’d also like to thank our sponsors, without whom it wouldn’t be possible.

Can’t wait until next year!!

17/07/2023

Now that the dust has settled and everyone has dried off we’d like to thank everyone who made Jam In The Castle so successful this year.

Despite the wind and the rain we had a full house and the music played into the night.

We even ran to time with every act starting and finishing like clockwork.

There are almost too many people to thank because many don’t realise how many people support behind the scenes in various ways to allow us to make it happen.

We’d like to thank our sponsors for their support and also our key suppliers who provide the stage, sound, toilets (A1), First Aid and other essentials without which our event couldn’t take place.

Thanks to A1 toilets, Richard Pells for the drums, the Six Bells, Coity Higher Community Council, Chris Jenkins, Alex Darroch and Walton Contracting for their generous support.

Of course, we have to thank Cadw for allowing us to hold this in their castle.

But we’d also like to thank the bands and the army of volunteers who gave their time to set up on Friday , serve behind the bar and on the gate on Saturday and for the Sunday clear up. Without their help the event simply couldn’t happen.

And finally thanks to those villagers who didn’t attend for their continued patience one day each year.

We’re all going to take a few days off but will tell you all about the good causes who will benefit from this year’s event very soon.

It was great to see you yesterday and you kept the rain away!
