Tenby carnival countdown - a flashback to 2017

Tenby Firefighters Carnival - one of the highlights of the summer in the seaside town - is back this week, with organisers vowing to make it the biggest yet - so here’s a flashback to 2017!
The charitable carnival (which will take place this year on Wednesday, August 7) always has a special place in the resort’s calendar and never fails to capture the imagination of the crowds that line the route of the procession or the numerous floats and fancy dress competitors taking part, and once again, the main recipient of the money raised by Tenby’s dedicated band of firefighters during the course of the day will be the Firefighters Charity.
The spectacular Carnival Parade will undoubtedly be the highlight of a fun-packed day of events for all the family to enjoy, which starts with the ‘open day’ at 10am held at Tenby’s Fire Station along South Parade, featuring fire safety demonstrations throughout the day, as well as activities, fair rides, stalls, refreshments, and a grand raffle. There will also be an educational appliance situated in Tudor Square throughout the day.
This will be followed by the fantastic Carnival Parade of floats, walking class fancy dress and other vehicles of interest, setting off around 5.15pm from Tenby Railway Station, proceeding via Warren Street, South Parade, Belmont Arch, Lower Frog Street, St George Street, Tudor Square, and St Julian Street, before finishing at the harbour, where the awards for the best in class are given.
Anyone and everyone is welcome to enter the carnival and no advance entry is required. Participants must ensure they are at the station yard between 4.30 and 4.45pm for the all-important judging.
There are carnival classes for under threes, sevens, 11s and adult, with all categories having a £20 first prize, £15 second prize and £10 third prize.
The lorry-borne entries, meanwhile, will all be competing for the lucrative £100 prize money for the best decorated float. Second prize is £75 and third is £50.
Also up for grabs is the Marjorie and Bert Ford Perpetual Trophy, plus £50, for the best charity float.
