Ammanford is getting ready to take part in the St David’s Day celebrations on March 1.
A wealth of activities have been organised on the day by Menter Bro Dinefwr in conjunction with Carmarthenshire County Council’s economic development division and Communities First, as well as a window display competition which will be judged beforehand.
Menter Bro Dinefwr has arranged for local schools – Ysgol Bro Banw, Ysgol Saron, Ysgol Dyffryn Amman, Ysgol Gymraeg Rhydaman and Ysgol Llandybie - to perform on a stage in Quay Street throughout the day from 10am to 2pm.
There will be a surprise event as well as a Twmpath on the street along with an appearance from Jac Y Do.
Other events include a Peppa Pig theme session at iSmooth Café on College Street and reading activities in the Library.
Communities First has organised a marquee with various exhibitions and businesses have been given the opportunity of putting on a special offer for the day.
A window display competition will be judged by Huw Rees, or Huw Ffas as everyone knows him and there will be a trophy for the best window display.
Carmarthenshire County Council executive board member for regeneration and leisure Cllr Meryl Gravell said: “I would urge people to come into the centre of Ammanford on St David’s Day to join in the fun and visit the shops which should be looking their very best.”
