Christmas carnival floats bonanza

THERE’S a clamour to enter a float in this year’s Llanelli Round Table Christmas Carnival on Friday 18th November.

Organiser Roger Bowen said there had been a good deal of early interest with 13 floats entered by the Scarlets, theatre groups, Coedcae School, The Wallich, Jenkins Bakery, Llanelli Gymnastics Club, Llwynhendy Community group, dance groups and Felinfoel and Furnace junior rugby clubs.

 

“There’s every indication it will be the biggest carnival yet,” said Mr Bowen.

Anyone interested in entering a float can contact Roger Bowen on 07940115864.

The Christmas carnival starts at 6.30pm from Festival Fields finishing up in front of the Town Hall for fireworks at 7pm.

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

The Santa procession leaves the rear of the St Elli Centre at 1pm on Sunday November 20th before touring the town to Vaughan Street and Stepney Street where there will be street entertainment.

The AJL Displays Santa’s grotto sets up again under the shopping centre’s glass pyramid. Last year was one of the most elaborate in Wales attracting a record 7,000 visitors.
