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.

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.

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.
