Packed programme of summer activities across Carmarthenshire
Carmarthenshire County Council is supporting families with a wide range of events, entertainment and days out as schools prepare to break up.
Cllr Hazel Evans, cabinet member for regeneration, leisure, culture and tourism, said: "The county council is proud to lead and support a full and diverse programme of events this summer to help families make the most of the school holidays.
"Through the council's own efforts, alongside the dedication of local organisations, venues and community groups, there truly is something for everyone, whether it's affordable days out, outdoor adventures, creative workshops or cultural experiences.
"Carmarthenshire is bursting with activities, events and places to explore."
The Discover Carmarthenshire website is the main hub for up-to-date listings, covering everything from community festivals to family-friendly attractions.
Many events are centred around county council venues and country parks.
Pembrey Country Park will host a Junior Ski Camp from July 18 to 23, ranger-led cycle tours on July 21 and August 29, a Junior Summer Camp from August 4 to 9, and the EPIC Family Funday on July 26.
A new addition this year is the Cwtchalla Festival on August 16, a family-friendly music event featuring tribute acts, street food, rides and entertainment by the sea.
Llyn Llech Owain will offer pond dipping on July 22, survival skills on August 28, and an evening bat and nature walk on August 22.
In Pendine, families can visit the Museum of Land Speed and try the nearby Caban Crazy Golf, a new 12-hole adventure course.
Actif Leisure Centres will offer pool inflatables, Aqua Boards, Nerf battles, themed activity days and creative sessions throughout the holidays.
The popular Actif Club holiday club returns, with half-day and full-day options for working parents.
Free swimming sessions for under-16s will be available on selected weekends at Llanelli, Amman Valley and Llandovery Leisure Centres.
