Replica cars from a range of iconic TV shows and films, including Scooby Doo, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Jurassic Park, Only Fools and Horses and more will be on display at the fair.

There will also be face painting, donkey rides, wildlife displays and children’s craft workshops on the day.

Meanwhile, more than 50 stalls will be set up, selling a range of food, drink, and hand-crafted items.

The event is organised by Caerphilly County Borough Council, and part-funded by Bargoed Town Council and the UK Government through its UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
