The Ammanford Big Day Out and Mardi Gras Carnival is back in town on Saturday July 12.
Carmarthenshire County Council is once again putting its support into the annual Big Day Out and joining the hardworking teams from Ammanford Rotary Club, Ammanford Football Club and Ammanford Police who put so much into making the day a success.
The Big Day Out is a great opportunity for family fun – both for those who dress up for the Mardi Gras Parade and those who watch the colourful spectacle make its way through the streets to the Recreation Ground. Large crowds are expected along the route.
Events on the field include a Mini Rugby Tournament with five or six teams, a Tug Of War tournament – local teams and perhaps audience participation, a Football Tournament , Free Mini Golf in the Carmarthenshire County Council Marquee , and a Vintage Car display. Pantglas World of Nature will be providing a Bird of Prey Display, Pendine Outdoors will be providing a climbing wall, and S4C Characters Bert and Francis will be attending. Ammanford Silver band is taking part in the parade and performing on the field.
Sports Marquee and taster sessions will include: 1-2pm, Mercedes Peynado and Llandybie RFC and Ammanford RFC; 2-2.30pm, Martial Arts and Hockey; 2.30-3pm, Footloose Dance and Penybanc Panthers Rugby; 3-3.30pm, Pantglas World of Nature – Bird of Prey display and Llandybie Tennis Club; 3.30-4pm, Mercedes Peynado Children’s and Glynhir Golf Club.
