The Welsh Ambulance Service has attended in response to calls from the scene. Currently three people have been taken to hospital, none of those persons are seriously injured.
Emergency Services and local partners remain at the scene of an unlicensed music event at Kenfig Industrial Estate.
One further person has been taken to hospital with non-serious injuries. A small number of vehicles and people remain.
