Tenby Carnival will be returning to the seaside streets in a blaze of glory today,Wednesday August 3, after a two-year absence forced by the coronavirus pandemic.
The carnival, run by Tenby's retained firefighters, celebrated its centenary in 2019 with one of the liveliest events in its history.
Huge crowds lined the streets to enjoy the spectacle, with a wet and wild water battle in Tudor Square amongst its highlights.
The organisers have called on the townspeople to make the 2022 event 'the biggest yet' and help raise a bumper amount for the Firefighters Charity.
The day gets underway at 10am when Tenby Fire Station in South Parade opens its doors to welcome the public, with attractions including fire safety demonstrations, rides, stalls, refreshments and a grand raffle.
