2006 Laugharne Festival

The Laugharne Festival is a constituted organisation who every three years put on a week long event featuring local talent and supported by many businesses. It raises money for the upkeep of The Cors Playing Field in Laugharne, a much used resource and regarded by many as the best playing field for children in all of Carmarthenshire. The next Laugharne Festival will be in 2009.

WE WON!!! Yes we won the Craft and Tourism section of the PACT (Partnership for Community Action) event held at Strady Park, Llanelli. Thanks to all who made the 2006 festival such a success.

The inscribed glass trophy will be part of a celebration display in Gleed the Butcher's shop window, King Street, Laugharne throughout March.

ALLO! ALLO!
In 2006, the festival brought together a group of local people interested in performing Under Milk Wood. The Laugharne Players staged Allo! Allo! on the 13th, 14th and 15th February 2008 and what a triumph it was.
Details can be found on their website www.thelaugharneplayers.com

NOTICE The Cors Playing Field has partly reopened. Although the construction work is complete, the contractors need a few fine days to replace turf and return the Playing Field to its former glory. That area is still out of bounds. WE ARE SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED TO THOSE WHO USE THE FACILITIES.

CALL FOR COMMITTEE MEMBERS Looking forward to 2009 and our next festival, the committee needs to grow and develop. If anyone would like to join please contact the Chairman at the address below.

The next committee meeting is on Friday 11th April starting at 7.00pm. It will be held at Fern Hill Orchard B&B.

Tourism Wales

WE DID NOT WIN the NATIONAL TOURISM AWARDS FOR WALES.

We did not win, but it is difficult to compete with an organisation like the Conway Food Festival, which managed to attract over a million pounds into the local economy. 

Tradition dictates that our festival happens the week after the carnival and our primary aim is to raise money for the Cors Playing Field for which we raised around £12,000.
