PORTHCAWL: End of the road for donkey rides on Coney Beach as council’s summer animal ban rules them out for good
Donkey rides on Coney Beach are over – Bridgend County Borough Council has confirmed it will not be granting a licence for donkey or pony riding at the Porthcawl seafront going forward.
The decision follows a change in how animals are treated under the beach’s seasonal restrictions.
The council’s existing seasonal ban on dogs – which runs from 1 May to 30 September each year – has now been extended to cover all animals on the beach during that period, with the exception of guide and assistance dogs.
A council spokesman said: “With this in mind, we are unable to grant a licence for seasonal donkey or pony riding at Coney Beach going forward.”
The news brings to an end a tradition that has been part of British seaside life for generations – though the council insisted it was not abandoning the spirit of traditional seaside attractions.
The timing is significant. Bridgend County Borough Council recently took over the management of Coney Beach as part of the Porthcawl Waterfront Regeneration Scheme – and with that change came a review of all seasonal activities previously operated by the former management.
The council confirmed it is currently reviewing expressions of interest for seasonal activities at the beach, promising residents and visitors “some exciting announcements about a wide range of activities and stalls in the near future.”
Porthcawl’s seafront has been through enormous change in recent years.
Coney Beach amusement park – a beloved institution for more than 100 years – closed its doors for good in October, leaving a significant gap at the heart of the resort.
A new seasonal funfair was announced as the town prepared for life after Coney Beach, and Fun Land Porthcawl – featuring family rides, a big wheel and food stalls – opened in late March for the summer season.
The council’s longer-term ambitions for the area are substantial. Final regeneration proposals for the Porthcawl seafront include a new lido swimming pool, new homes, green spaces, shops, a site for motorhomes and caravans, a splash pad, pump track, multi-use games area and community garden.
Those plans were scaled back following resident pressure, though the council has maintained its ambition for a major transformation of the seafront area.
The regeneration project has not been without controversy. The Welsh Government wrote off £1.6 million after a failed Porthcawl maritime centre project – a reminder of the challenges of delivering large-scale coastal regeneration.
The council said the seasonal funfair at Salt Lake and a recent visit by NoFit State Circus demonstrated its commitment to keeping the seafront lively and attractive to visitors.
For now though, the donkeys won’t be returning to Coney Beach – and for many visitors, that will be the end of a very particular kind of seaside memory.

PORTHCAWL: New seafront funfair announced as town prepares for life after Coney Beach
The new funfair, which will feature family rides, a big wheel and food stalls, will be set up in time for Easter and remain in place throughout the summer season, Bridgend County Borough Council have said.
The announcement comes after the town’s historic Coney Beach amusement park closed permanently on 4 October 2025 after 107 years of operation as part of a major seafront regeneration project.
The Welsh Government, which bought the amusement park site in 2023, is working with Bridgend Council on a major redevelopment of the area, which has proved controversial with some residents.
Hundreds of people signed petitions to save the funfair, and the council was forced to scale back its initial regeneration proposals after a public backlash.
The council has also had to warn the public about fake images of the regeneration plans being circulated online.
The new seasonal funfair at Salt Lake will be operated by Studt’s Events, a family-run business with a long history in the events industry.
It will briefly share the site with the NoFit State contemporary circus, which will be present between 11-19 April.
Councillor Neelo Farr, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Economic Development and Housing, said the new funfair reinforced the council’s commitment to delivering high-quality attractions for the town.
“We want to provide family-friendly activities that add to what Porthcawl already offers while also supporting local businesses by bringing more people into the town and county borough,” she said.
“I am pleased that the funfair will be inclusive and accessible for all visitors, and it is great to see how our plans for Porthcawl are starting to come together as part of the wider regeneration programme.”
Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, Jayne Bryant, said the waterfront regeneration represented an “exciting opportunity” for the area.
“Through our continued investment in regeneration across Wales, we want to help towns like Porthcawl build on their unique strengths, grow their local economies, deliver new homes, and provide high-quality leisure and cultural experiences for residents and visitors alike,” she said.
Henry Studt of Studt’s Events Ltd added: “We are genuinely delighted to be bringing a family funfair to Porthcawl and are looking forward to playing a positive part in the town’s seasonal offer for residents and visitors.”
More details about the seasonal funfair, including confirmed dates and opening times, will be announced closer to Easter 2026.

Council reveals final regeneration proposals for Porthcawl seafront
Produced by Bridgend County Borough Council in partnership with Welsh Government, the masterplan seeks to provide the right balance between leisure, tourism, housing, and business requirements within Porthcawl while prioritising the needs of local people and other stakeholders.
Developed following years of research, market engagement, technical studies and extensive public consultation, it features a wide range of ideas for facilities and attractions across the 38 hectare site, the majority of which have been directly suggested by local residents.
Among the ideas under development are plans that could include a splash pad, mini golf, a pump track, a multi-use games area, pocket parks, fitness trails, community gardens and children’s play areas, all linked by a network of paths and routes that are suitable for pedestrians and cyclists.
With opportunities for new shops, cafes, restaurants, bars and kiosks spread throughout the regeneration area, the masterplan also features a new coastal park, buildings and pavilions that can be used by community groups, a site for motorhomes and touring caravans, and plenty of open space suitable for hosting seasonal fairs, markets, festivals and events.
A street view look at how Sandy Bay housing will look.With Sandy Bay now under public ownership, the masterplan encourages using the beach and adjoining land for new events, and there has already been substantial interest in setting up activities ranging from surf schools and saunas to beach-based fitness training, outdoor yoga classes and more. The plan also ensures that the nearby dune habitats at Rhych Point are carefully managed and restored so that the land can be used for educational and recreational purposes.
The Lido swimming pool would be located at Salt Lake opposite the marina where it would incorporate a gym, a restaurant, a café and other related facilities. The funfair rides would form part of a new site located at the opposite end of Salt Lake, close to the Aldi food store, which would offer new public events space.
With new equipment and facilities to help make it a hub for community events and sports activities, Griffin Park will treble in size under the plan and gain a new ‘green corridor’ equipped with new features. This will loop back to the seafront where stepped coastal defences will be installed as part of a new promenade to provide enhanced protection as well as improved access to Coney Beach and Sandy Bay.
In direct response to feedback from residents, the housing element of the masterplan has been reduced to approximately 980 homes, and prevailing building heights have been lowered by 20 per cent across so that structures which were originally 5-6 storeys high will now be no taller than 3-4.
With ambitions for up to 50 per cent of the housing to be affordable and feature a mix of tenures including shared and low-cost ownership, the council intends to prioritise local people for the housing and to impose limits on the future use of residential units with restrictions that will prevent most from being used as holiday lets or second homes.
Car parking has also been accounted for following extensive research carried out over a period of four years. Parking sites including a refurbished open air car park at Hillsboro and a new public car park at Coney Beach will be established to cope with regular demand, and the council is in the process of identifying a site for an overflow car park to cater for occasions when visitor levels are at their peak.
Council Leader John Spanswick said:
“The final Porthcawl Waterfront Regeneration masterplan represents a hugely significant piece of work which has been many years in the making.
“While complementing other local developments such as the ongoing multi-million refurbishment of the Grand Pavilion, it reflects our determination to strike the right balance between housing and community facilities, tourism and leisure, opportunities for enabling new businesses to thrive and more.
“Delivering on its objectives will be a long-term process which will require planning consent, appropriate funding and delivery partners, but huge emphasis has been placed on making sure it remains both credible and realistic. The masterplan demonstrates the scope of our ambitions for Porthcawl, and our desire to work with residents to regenerate the town, prioritise local homes for local people, and deliver a future that they can believe in.”
Councillor Neelo Farr, Cabinet Member for Regeneration, Economic Development and Housing, said:
“In designing the final masterplan, we have delivered on our promise to listen to local people and reflect what they want to see while also ensuring that the proposals remain realistic, achievable and deliverable. I want to thank everyone who has contributed to this process as well as our regeneration partners at Welsh Government.
“I hope that people will take some time to study the masterplan and the responses to frequently asked questions that we have prepared before coming along to the public event and giving us their views. With 10 consultations held in the last five years alone, public engagement has proven to be a cornerstone of how this plan has developed, and I believe that together, we will deliver a future in which Porthcawl can develop and evolve to become the premier tourist destination in South Wales while also remaining a place to live and work.”
Cabinet Secretary for Housing and Local Government, Jayne Bryant, said:
“This masterplan marks a bold and exciting step forward for Porthcawl, reimagining the seafront to deliver over 900 homes and new attractions that celebrate the town’s heritage.
“By placing local people at the heart of regeneration, we are not only protecting the town’s unique character but also unlocking its full potential as a vibrant and welcoming place to live, work and visit.
“The Welsh Government is proud to support Bridgend County Borough Council in delivering a future that balances homes, heritage, and opportunity.”

"Battle of Lights, Coney Island, Mardi Gras," Joseph Stella, 1913-14.
Stella (1877-1946), born in Italy, emigrated to the US to study medicine, returned to Europe for a while, but came back to the US in 1913 to give it a second chance. He'd been influenced by Modernist art during his European sojourn, and his returns to the US meant he found many subjects for his new style.
This is "Futurism," a Modernist style that emphasized dynamism, technology, youth, and movement. While this canvas appears to be a chaotic abstract, you start noticing the dots at the bottom that are the surging crowds, and the circles and swirls of color that represent the lights on the rides, as well as the angular forms suggesting a roller coaster and other structures. You can see circus tents, beams from spotlights, human figures, an orchestra, and snatches of words. It's an impressive evocation of night in an American amusement park of the era.
This painting is ranked as of the first, and probably the greatest, works of American Futurism. He later moved to a style called Precisionism, celebrating angular industrial forms, but later in life was not clearly associated with any school of art.
From the Yale University Gallery of Art, New Haven.
