Fireworks light up Tenby Harbour as Summer Spectacular draws crowds

TENBY Harbour was a sea of colour, sound and celebration this evening (Sunday, August 10) as the first of this year’s two Summer Spectaculars took place, drawing hundreds of visitors and locals for an afternoon and evening of entertainment.

Hosted by Tenby Round Table, the long-running charity event began at 3:00pm, offering live music, street food, charity stalls and a licensed bar, with all proceeds going to support local good causes. The harbour’s natural amphitheatre provided the perfect setting as families, friends and holidaymakers enjoyed the lively atmosphere.

As night fell, anticipation built for the grand finale – a professional fireworks display at 10:00pm. The bursts of light and colour lit up the night sky, reflecting across the water and drawing cheers from the crowd packed along the harbour walls and beach.

The Summer Spectacular has been a fixture in Tenby for decades, raising hundreds of thousands of pounds for charity over the years. While traditionally there were more events through the summer – shared between the Round Table, Rotary and Lions – this year’s calendar features just two dates, with the second due to take place on Sunday, August 24.

Round Table Chairman praised the turnout, saying the support from both the local community and visitors is vital in keeping the tradition alive: “Every pound raised tonight will go straight back into helping local charities and projects. The atmosphere was fantastic, and it’s wonderful to see Tenby Harbour buzzing with life.”

The event was free to attend, though organisers encouraged a suggested £2 donation per person. Pembrokeshire County Council’s licensing rules meant no alcohol could be brought into the event, but the charity bar proved popular throughout the evening.

The Tenby Round Table say they are always looking for new members and volunteers to help run future events. If tonight’s celebrations were anything to go by, the next Summer Spectacular promises another unforgettable night on the harbour.

MID and West Wales Fire and Rescue Service held its annual Charity Carol Service on Wednesday (Dec 10) at Ebeneser Baptist Chapel in Crymych.

The event brought together members of the local community alongside Fire Service staff for an evening of carols, readings and festive refreshments, marking the Christmas season in a warm and inclusive atmosphere.

This year’s service supported two important charities — the Fire Fighters Charity and Cancer Research Wales — with all proceeds going directly towards their ongoing work.

A total of £597 was raised on the night, which will be shared equally between the two charities.

The Service thanked the congregation at Ebeneser Baptist Chapel for hosting the event, as well as everyone who gave their time, support and generosity to make the evening such a success.

Castle Inn fun runners back festive charity event

THE ANNUAL 3 Amigos Christmas toy bike run is under way this afternoon (Saturday), with hundreds of motorcyclists setting off from Pembroke to raise funds for children’s services.

Riders gathered at The Commons car park in Pembroke from around midday before departing shortly after 1:00pm. The festive convoy is travelling along its traditional route, taking in Pembroke Dock and continuing through parts of the county including Neyland, Milford Haven and Haverfordwest.

The event is organised by the 3 Amigos and Dollies Motorcycle Group and has become a much-anticipated Christmas tradition in west Wales, with toys and donations collected for children receiving care within the Hywel Dda University Health Board area.

Also supporting the event are fun runners from the Castle Inn in Pembroke, who have been fundraising in aid of the 3 Amigos. The group are pictured alongside participants from today’s run.

The 3 Amigos have been raising funds for children’s wards and health charities for more than twenty-five years, with their Easter and Christmas events continuing to make a positive difference to young patients and their families.

Organisers have thanked the public for their support and asked road users to be mindful of the large convoy as it passes through towns and villages this afternoon.
