Tenby’s first fundraising Summer Spectacular takes place this weekend with a big fireworks extravaganza to finish! The weather is looking good for the day, and organisers Tenby Round Table have provided an all you need to know guide about the event which helps raise money for charity and local worthy causes.

Tenby Round Table will be hosting two events on Sunday, August 11 and on the Bank Holiday weekend of Sunday, August 25.

The fun tends to start at 3pm, at each event, with entertainment, food, drink and fireworks to finish at 10pm (weather permitting).

The events see thousands of people attending to enjoy live bands and the amazing firework displays to round off the nights - whilst at the same time, helping to raise thousands of pounds for charitable and worthy causes.

“All the proceeds from these events go to helping local good causes and charities. We look forward to seeing you down the harbour!” said a tenby Round table spokesperson.

A guide to the Summer Spectacular:

• Why does it happen? - To raise funds to support local charities and good causes. Tenby Round Table have been running the Summer Specs for decades and have raised hundreds of thousands of pounds in the process. All proceeds go to charity.

• Do I need tickets? - No, the event is free to enter, although donations are greatly appreciated. Round Table would advise £2 a person, although feel free to donate more as all money raised goes to local charities and good causes.

• Can I bring alcohol into or through the event? - No, the harbour is a licensed area, like a pub. This license is granted by Pembrokeshire County Council and one of the terms is that no alcohol can be brought into or through the event.

• What’s on at the Summer Spectacular? - Entertainment and bands from 3pm to 10pm, food, a charity bar and stalls.

• Are there fireworks? - Yes, fireworks have been an important part of the Spectaculars for decades as a finale to the events. The fireworks are well advertised in advance and are put on by a professional, fully insured company with the agreement of the council. The display (weather permitting) takes place at 10pm.

• Can't you find an alternative to fireworks? - “We’ve been advised that ‘silent’ fireworks aren’t available for this size event, and drone displays are considerably more expensive and complicated,” said a Round Table spokesperson.

“The majority of feedback about the firework displays is positive, but we appreciate it’s not possible to please everyone. We apologise if you are in the minority that find displays disruptive.”

• Will the event be cancelled in bad weather? - The organisers try and leave any decision about cancelling the event as late as possible. However by making this decision in a timely way they can minimise the amount of money they lose. A cancelled event can mean significant cost to us and missing the opportunity to raise money for charity.

• Why only two Summer Spectaculars this year? - Over the last few years the Specs have been run by Tenby Round Table, Tenby Rotary, and Tenby Lions. Unfortunately, again this year Rotary and Lions have not been able to host their three events.

“We are committed to hosting our events for the foreseeable future but we unfortunately don’t have the members to host all five events,” said a Round Table spokesperson.

• I’ve had a great time, can I get involved in the future? - “Yes! Membership of Round Table is open to men between 18-45 years of age. We’re also happy to have volunteers at our events to help them run smoothly. Feel free to speak to us for more information.” said a Tenby Round Table spokesperson.
