Following a busy season, Tenby’s De Valence venue has been praised once again for its success over the summer.

Speaking at Tuesday night’s meeting of the town council, Deputy Mayor, Clr. Mrs. Christine Brown, said that they’d had a really busy summer at the pavilion and had a busy September to come!

“We’ll have the Ironman Wales organisers with us for five days for their race briefings etc; then we will be hosting three events for Tenby Arts Festival.

“A new youth music theatre company ‘Escape’ aimed at children from five to 18, is also starting up with us, with one of the aims to produce a show to be held at the De Valence next summer, and we wish them all the best

“These are the type of community groups that we thrive on, along with those such as the film group, which is also working well,” she continued.

Clr. Laurence Blackhall praised the ‘outstanding’ work done by those running the venue and its volunteers.

“They are making sure that it is a building for the community, and not just a commercial venture,” he remarked.

“The feedback I’ve heard over the summer has been once again really positive. It really is a huge success story, and something that the town of Tenby should be proud of.”
