The Laugharne Festival is a constituted organisation
who every three years put on a week long event to raise money for
the upkeep of The Cors Playing Field in Laugharne.
The Township of Laugharne is in the county of
Carmarthenshire and is now best known because of Dylan Thomas
who made it his home. Here he wrote many poems and short stories,
but Under Milk Wood - 'a play for voices' would
be the piece most people associate with his living in Laugharne.
Dylan is buried in the graveyard of St. Martins church, Laugharne
marked with a simple white wooden cross.
Members of the committee apply for grants and sponsorship to stage
the event and considerable time is given freely from locals supporting
the aims and objectives.
