“It is just getting bigger and better each year.”

This year the town’s Christmas carnival capers are launched on Friday, 23rd November. Then there’s more Christmas fun on the 24th and 25th with a Glided Lili craft fair and the St Elli Reindeer Parade!

Saturday 24th there will be a Gilded Lili craft fair in the St Elli with approximately 35 stalls selling a wide range of unique Christmas gifts for all the family.

Sunday 25th St Elli Reindeer parade starting at 12noon from Market Street walking along Thomas Street, Gelli Onn, Hall Street in to Vaughan Street and down to Stepney Square.

Santa will take his six cairngorm reindeer into a pen situated in Stepney Street. Santa will make his way into the St Elli’s Spectacular Christmas grotto. Scarlet FM will be providing entertainment in Stepney Square as well as Children’s rides, there will also be refreshments available.

There is a Christmas craft fayre in Stepney Street sponsored by St Elli Shopping Centre on the Saturday (20th) and the famous St Elli Centre reindeer parade through the streets of the town to shopping centre follows on Sunday (21st).

A profusion of colourful floats, high class street entertainment including a fairground, staged music and a fantastic fireworks display explodes into the sky above the town on carnival night.

This year Round Tabler’s are hopeful that schools, businesses, charity groups and streets entries will keep up the momentum making this year’s Llanelli Carnival the best yet.

Carnival Procession

Starts around 6.30pm from Festival Fields then will proceed along Sandy Road – West End – Gelli Onn Bridge Street – Town Hall Square – Old Castle Road -Waunlanyrafon.

The parade will circle round Ty Elwyn to finish up in front of Old Town Hall for fireworks at 7pm.

How do I enter a float?

To enter a float you need to contact Roger Bowen who will be able to help you. The transport for the floats are normally free. Don’t forget that there are prizes for the best floats. Contact Roger Bowen on 01554 750008.

I’ve heard that insurance is expensive for floats?

The common misconceptions are about Insurance.  If the lorry has an accident with you on it you are covered by their motor insurance.  I also recommend public liability insurance, most companies and community groups already have this but if you want further advice speak to Graeme Fox at Davies Craddock Insurance group on 01554 778899.
