Chairman of Narberth Civic Week Clr. Christopher Walters has announced that Narberth Carnival and Civic Week has been cancelled for 2020 due to the Coronavirus situation.

Mayor, Clr. Walters said that the Narberth Civic Week Committee had decided to take the tough decision on Friday to cancel both events, popular events on the Pembrokeshire calendar.

“Due to us foreseeing that a possible peak of the Virus could be around July and with the uncertainty put on by Government rules to help protect the safety of the public we felt it was only right to postpone the event for 12 months,” he said.

“We understand this is a tough time for everyone but we would like to thank all event organisers and venue’s who were planning events for July 2020.

“Once this has all blown over we hope to look at 2021 or even teaming up with the Narberth Winter Carnival committee to try and run an event in the Winter (subject to the situation and agreement).

“Whilst we were excited to put on another fantastic week of events and another blazing carnival we must consider everyone’s safety. So on behalf of the Narberth Civic Week Committee - we say to everyone please Stay Safe, follow all the rules put out by the government and together we will beat this virus!

“When we return we will show everyone why we are the best week in Pembrokeshire!” he added.
