Countdown begins as Pembrokeshire's longest-running carnival returns
The countdown is on to Pembrokeshire's longest-running carnival, which is the culmination of a week of community activities in its town. Narberth Carnival will take to the streets on Saturday, July 26, and is the highlight of Narberth Civic Week which gets underway on Sunday, July 20. This years' family-friendly event will feature plenty of Civic Week traditions such as the Pram Push (weather permitting). Happy bees in a previous carnival parade.

There will also be new events introduced this year, including Parkour sessions and as Teddy Bears' Picnic – the latter of which will be raising money to refurbish the town's much-loved play park. Narbelles WI made their carnival debut at last year's event. (Image: Gareth Davies Photography) Chris Walters, chairman of Narberth Civic Week and Carnival said: 'Civic Week has always been about bringing people together and celebrating the incredible sense of community we have here in Narberth. "It's a time when the town comes alive with events, music, laughter and colour, and it's something we're very proud to continue each year. He thanked the members of the small Civic Week committee for their tireless efforts, and also to the members of the public for their messages of support.

The parade theme for the carnival is Anything Goes', but shops, pubs and restaurants in the town have been challenged to bring even more fun to the streets with their own Pirates & Captains theme. Chris continued: "I'd encourage everyone to come along, take part and support our local businesses and volunteers who make this possible. "Narberth Civic Week belongs to the whole community – let's make it another one to remember.'
