Countdown is on to major event at Carmarthen showground


The countdown is well and truly on to one of the biggest events of the year at Carmarthen’s United Counties Showground.
In just over three weeks’ time, the showground at Nantyci on the A40 will host the South and West Wales Caravan and Motorhome Show 2012.
The show is celebrating its sixth year and will take place over three days from May 11 to 13.
“In terms of scale, it’s the biggest annual event at the showground and one which has appeal for all the family,” said organiser and promoter Lois Gibbon, of Daffodil Events.
“Visitors will get to see the latest in the caravan and motorhome industry, but there will plenty of other attractions, including a display of classic vehicles by the Towy Valley Vintage Club.
“A major ‘first’ this year will be the appearance of The Fly Heli Wales team, who will be offering breath-taking helicopter rides from the showground.”
Carmarthen-born Lois took over the running of the annual caravan and motorhome show from Towy Events.
“This will be my second year in the ‘hot-seat’ running the show, so it’s going to be a very memorable and exciting show for me.
“This year, in addition to our regular trade stands, there will be stands selling static holiday caravans, trailer tents and specialist camping tents.
“The best way to enjoy the event will be to book yourself in and stay on site, but there will be plenty on the showfield to also interest day visitors.
“There will be local caravan and motorhome firms at the show, along with some from further afield - Swansea, Bridgend and even Devon!
“There will be a great choice of makes, models and budgets in caravans and motorhomes. There will be models to suit everybody’s pocket.”
The event aims to link with Carmarthen town centre and those attending are being encouraged to use the park and ride service from Nantyci into the town centre to take advantage of the shops and attractions.
The South and West Wales Caravan and Motorhome Show 2012 runs between 10am and 5pm on May 11-13. Admission is £5 (concessions £4) with free parking. Four-night camping is also available priced at £30. For details contact Daffodil Events on 01570 470783.
