Alfresco shows return to Park
ALFRESCO shows are returning to Carmarthenshire this month, as Theatrau Sir Gar hosts a programme of outdoor performances at Pembrey Country Park between August 11 and 23.
The series of events is being called Theatrau Sir Gar yn y Parc, and includes a varied line-up of entertainment featuring two tribute acts, Shape of You – The Music of Ed Sheeran, and Woman Like Me – The Little Mix Show.
Two Proms in the Park concerts, comedy clubs, children’s theatre, live music from the Welsh Whisperer, and an evening of classical music with Welsh tenor Rhys Meirion are just some of the highlights in the calendar.
A temporary outdoor stage will be created at the country park especially for the coming weeks.
No seating will be provided, instead audiences are invited to bring their own outdoor chairs or blankets to sit on as part of the open-air theatre experience.
Carmarthenshire Council’s cabinet member for regeneration, leisure, culture and tourism, Cllr Gareth John said: “We are delighted to bring this outdoor theatre experience to Pembrey Country Park once again this year for both local residents and visitors to enjoy.
“With a variety of shows to choose from, there really is something for everyone. And what better way to enjoy some live entertainment than in the beautiful surroundings of the country park.”
