Tenby Carnival will return to the seaside streets in a blaze of glory tomorrow, Wednesday August 3, after a two-year absence forced by the coronavirus pandemic.
The carnival, run by Tenby’s tireless firefighters, celebrated its centenary in 2019 with one of the liveliest events in its history.
Huge crowds lined the streets to enjoy the spectacle, with a wet and wild water fight in Tudor Square among its highlights.
Organizers have called on residents of the city to make the 2022 event ‘the biggest yet’ and help raise a huge sum for the Firefighters’ charity.
The day starts at 10am when Tenby Fire Station on South Parade opens its doors to welcome the public, with attractions including fire safety demonstrations, rides, stalls, refreshments and a grand raffle.
