An exciting new event is happening this summer at one of Pembrokeshire’s seaside villages.

Launching on Friday, July 7, SaundersFEST will be celebrating live music, the community and the fantastic businesses in Saundersfoot, over a three-day festival that will showcase a wide range of talent.

The festival will continue for the whole weekend of July 8 and 9, where there will be a wide range of music both in the village and on the main festival stage in the grounds of Saundersfoot Sports and Social Club.

A charity event, run entirely by volunteers, SaundersFEST will showcase a wide range of music from solo acts, groups, choirs through to the headline act on Sunday, Mark and Wynne Evans.

Wynne you may know as the ‘Go Compare’ man – but he is also a world renowned opera singer with close association with Welsh National Opera.

Mark is a member of the English National Opera and founder of ‘ABC of Opera’.

They also both jad cameo roles in the film ‘Save the Cinema’ about their mother’s campaign to save the Lyric Theatre in Carmarthen from closure.

“There is still much to do to organise the festival, but we have a great team behind the scenes and it’s already shaping up to be a highlight in our summer calendar!” said Chris Williams – local County Councillor and lead on the project.

“We are also hugely grateful to our main sponsor The Royal Oak pub and to Puffin Cottage Holidays, our accommodation sponsor, for helping to get the project underway.”
