Local councillors have been given an update on plans to hold a three-day event event in Tenby celebrating children’s author Roald Dahl in his centenary year.

As 2016 marks 100 years since the storyteller’s birth in Cardiff, amateur dramatics group, the ‘Eastend Flyover Company’, who are based in Pembroke, met with members of Tenby Town Council recently to tell them further of festivities they are hoping to bring to the town over the weekend of September 8, 9 and 10.

At Tuesday night’s meeting of the town council, members were given an update through correspondence from the production company’s chairman, Angharad Scourfield.

“We have finalised the route, and will start in the De Valence, then move down Frog Street where we will meet the BFG at Brychan Yard, and from there we will progress on to Llandrindod House where our first story will take place,” she explained.

The plan for the event is to invite audience members to make their own dream jars to use as part of the performance as they follow the BFG and other Dahl characters through Tenby.

Other destinations included along the route will be St. Mary’s Church, the Tudor Merchants House, Castle Hill and the harbour.

The organisers are also hoping to schedule a choir performance at the harbour for the end scene of the production.

“We really want to make this a community project, to lift the town, not only for tourists, but for town folk themselves,” continued Ms Scourfield, adding that a meeting is to be held on Thursday, May 19, at 7.30 pm, at Babi Beau (next to Sainsburys in Tenby) for any local businesses or organisations interested in being involved in the event.
