THRILLS, STUNTS AND FOAM PARTIES PROMISED AT KIDWELLY RACECOURSE

FFOS LAS Racecourse will roar to life this weekend as the Monster Truck Motorfest rolls into town for two days of high-octane action, crowd-pleasing stunts and family-friendly entertainment.

Taking place on Saturday and Sunday (August 9–10), the event is set to be one of the biggest of its kind in Wales this year, with monster truck displays, motocross stunts and foam parties all lined up for attendees of all ages.

Main arena mayhem

At the heart of the festival is the main arena, where petrolheads can expect to see the mighty Slingshot Monster Truck show, jaw-dropping freestyle motocross from the Bulldog FMX team, and crowd favourite Flyin’ Ryan performing gravity-defying motorbike stunts. The On The Edge stunt team will also be back, promising precision riding and trick displays that will keep fans on the edge of their seats.

Each day is split into two sessions: 10:00am to 2:00pm and 4:00pm to 8:00pm, with separate performances running throughout both.

Family-friendly fun

Beyond the roar of the engines, the Motorfest also boasts a packed line-up of children’s entertainment. Characters including Bluey & Bingo, Optimus Prime, Gummy Bears, Angel & Stitch, and even Megatron will be making appearances throughout the day, with scheduled meet-and-greets and shows.

A kids zone, fairground rides, and catering units will ensure there’s something for every member of the family, while each session finishes with a lively foam party to cool off from the summer heat.

Tickets still available

Organisers say tickets remain, but are encouraging early booking to avoid disappointment. The venue is located at Ffos Las Racecourse, SA17 4DE, near Kidwelly.

A spokesperson said: “Monster Truck Motorfest is back and bigger than ever – it’s going to be a wild weekend packed with action, noise, and unforgettable fun for the whole family.”

Attendees are reminded that the line-up and schedule may be subject to change due to operational or weather-related reasons.

PREHISTORIC FUN COMES TO MILFORD HAVEN

DINOSAURS will be roaming Milford Waterfront later this month as Dinomania brings a day of prehistoric entertainment to the town.

The popular dinosaur attraction will take over the waterfront on Wednesday, May 27, with three interactive shows taking place throughout the afternoon.

Each show will last around 50 minutes and promises plenty of audience participation, prehistoric facts, and family-friendly fun.

Before the ticketed shows begin, visitors are being encouraged to keep an eye out around Milford Waterfront, where Dinomania’s dinosaurs will be out and about during a free walkabout performance between 10:30am and 11:30am.

The walkabout will give families the chance to see the dinosaurs up close and enjoy some entertainment around the waterfront before the main shows get underway.

Milford Waterfront said: “Dinomania will be taking over Milford Waterfront on Wednesday, May 27, with three exciting shows taking place throughout the afternoon.

“Each show lasts approximately 50 minutes and is packed with interactive moments and prehistoric fun.”

Tickets can be booked through the Milford Waterfront website.

Hubberston Girls exhibition launches new space at Waterfront Gallery

A NEW exhibition exploring memories of growing up on a council estate has opened at the Waterfront Gallery in Milford Haven.

Artist Lynn Stuart is launching the gallery’s new exhibition space with her solo show, Hubberston Girls, which runs until Saturday, May 30.

The exhibition features a deeply personal series of works drawn and painted on brown paper. The material was chosen for its connection to everyday memories, including lunch bags and magazines wrapped in paper.

Once oiled, the paper becomes semi-transparent, allowing paint to be applied to the reverse and creating layered, intimate images.

The Waterfront Gallery is extending its opening hours for the exhibition and will be open Monday to Saturday, from 10:30am to 4:00pm.

A private view will be held on Thursday, May 14, from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, and all are welcome.

The gallery is based in the Old Sail Loft on Discovery Quay, Milford Waterfront, Milford Haven. It is one of south west Wales’s leading art galleries, a registered charity, and home to the Wales Contemporary annual competition.

The gallery is run by artist volunteers who exhibit there regularly.

A FAMILY dinosaur show 65 million years in the making is heading to Milford Haven this summer.

Dinosaur Adventure Live: Danger on T-Rex Mountain will headline the Torch Theatre on Thursday, July 30.

The interactive stage show promises storytelling, puppetry, humour and science as young audiences join a team of rangers on a mission to recover a data crystal, restore power to the island and save the dinosaurs.

Children will be encouraged to stomp, roar and swish their tails as they meet baby dinosaurs, learn “Dino-Facts” and come face-to-face with a roaring T-Rex.

Created by Mike Newman, the producer behind Exciting Science, the show is now in its fifth year and is aimed at families with children aged four and over.

The performance lasts one hour, with no interval, and there will be a meet-and-greet after the show.

Tickets are available from the Torch Theatre.
