The future of one of Pembrokeshire’s most popular summer carnivals is in jeopardy, unless more people come forward to join the town’s Civic Week Committee.

Last year, after a couple of years of ‘doom and gloom’ due to the pandemic, Narberth’s Carnival returned with a bang, after a two-year hiatus, with hundreds turning out to watch and take part in the parade

The Carnival parade was the culmination of Narberth Civic Week which entertained over a ‘thousand children’ with various events around the town.

Following a meeting held last week, Narberth Civic Week Committee members though were left ‘extremely concerned’ to hear that due to other commitments, another member was standing down, meaning that three serving Committee members have left since last year’s Carnival.

“The reality is that there are now only five people on the Committee,” said Civic Week chairman Chris Walters.

“Civic Week cannot be run like this so unless more people volunteer to come on board, this year’s Civic Week and Carnival is in jeopardy.

The AGM meeting has now been arranged for Wednesday, March 1 at 7.30 pm at Narberth Rugby Club.

“If you value Civic Week and Carnival and wish for it to continue, please come along and offer your support and assistance,” continued Chris.

“This invite is also extended to any Group, Organisation or Charity who is willing to help us. We hope you are able to attend our next meeting.”
