Wales in Bloom

Wales in Bloom 2025

We are delighted to announce that Abertillery was the runner-up in the Town Category of Wales in Bloom!

Achieving a Silver Gilt in our first year entering is an absolutely enormous achievement, and the tremendous work of Cllr Ralph Henderson MBE, Abertillery Aspiration Group, Abertillery & Blaina Rotary, TAFY- Tillery Action For You Ltd and all of the other amazing groups and volunteers cannot be understated.

Along with the main category award, our area saw many other successes:

Ebbw Fach Community Group – Level 4 ‘Thriving’ It’s Your Neighbourhood Award

Six Bells Hotel – Silver in category 12a (hotels, guest houses, public houses & restaurants – frontage only)

Ty Ebbw Fach – Silver in category 12a (hotels, guest houses, public houses & restaurants – frontage only)

Abertillery Learning Community – Level 3 ‘Branching’ School Category

Cllr Ralph Henderson MBE was also recognised as a Wales in Bloom Community Champion – of which four were selected in total across Wales!

We would like to extend our warmest thanks to everyone who contributed to this project
