Carnival cancelled

With the summer’s music and arts calendar virtually wiped out, it seems that show and carnival organisers are starting to make their own tricky decisions.

The Llanfair Caereinion Carnival Committee last night confirmed that it will give 2020 a miss to allow Covid-19 to hopefully blow over.

“Due to the Covid-19 outbreak, we are sad to announce that the 2020 Llanfair Caereinion Carnival, due to be held in June, will be postponed,” they announced. “The Carnival Theme will be carried forward to our Carnival on June 19, 2021.

“The Carnival Committee is planning an event for later in the year, all being well. We are also planning some virtual competitions which will be announced via our Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/llanfaircaereinioncarnival/.

“Most importantly, we hope everyone will stay safe, stay at home and protect the NHS.”
