A new Welshpool Festival of Transport will go ahead next June it has been confirmed.
The bold new initiative from Welshpool Town Council will be held on the weekend of June 23/24 and will celebrate all forms of transport – from boats to balloons, horses to iron horses and a wide variety of vehicles – classic, vintage, commercial and agricultural.
The event will be totally free of charge to visitors and will involve the entire town, with various exhibits on show throughout the town and visitors will be encouraged to discover Welshpool as they enjoy the various aspects of the Festival.
Highlights will include displays of vehicles, a cavalcade through the town and exhibitions in the Town Hall.
Welshpool & Llanfair Light Railway and the Montgomery Canal will play big parts too and are the organisations are planning their own bespoke celebrations .
The council is keen for as many transport enthusiasts as possible to play their part in the Festival – anyone who has a vehicle or an exhibit they would like to be considered to take part, please call Mike Kilvert on 01686 610089 or for more information contact Rosemary atWelshpool Town Council on 01938 553142 or town.clerk@welshpooltowncouncil.gov.uk
