Community Organisation Mack Events Team
Background
COMET is a not for profit community interest company which was established in December 2022 as the community arm of Mack Events Presents Limited. Our main goal is to generate goodwill and community spirit in and around Barry.
Registered with Companies House (Company number 141534530). The idea of forming COMET grew out of the longstanding work of Mack Events Presents in staging the popular GlastonBARRY music festivals from 2013 to the current day. We have a strong desire to help improve our community and it was felt that a musical and cultural legacy could be left in the local area through the staging of community events.
