New Amphitheatre Approved 🎡
A new amphitheatre project: PLANS for a new amphitheatre perched above the River Teifi – where legend has it the last Welsh dragon met its end have been given a hearty "ie" by all. Carmarthenshire Council's planning committee, perhaps inspired by the bold spirit of their dragon-slaying ancestors, gave their blessing after learning the amphitheatre would be keeping things as quiet as a field mice in shed.

The new cultural cauldron will be nestled on an embankment above the Teifi, just a stone's throw from Castle Street and the ruins of Newcastle Emlyn Castle,
While the original plans called for seating for 103 bottoms, they've trimmed it down to a cozy 88 – still plenty of room for a good sing song yori-yori
