Fire & Cider Festival –

by solvacommunitycouncil | Oct 28, 2021 | Solva Newsletter

Saturday the 6 November at 8pm – Lower Solva foreshore
In place of the annual fireworks display it was decided to hold an event on the foreshore called “The Fire and Cider festival (without fireworks)”. So, come and celebrate autumn at our alternative bonfire night. We will have a roaring bonfire, cider from Gareth Chapman’s own cider press, live music and food. The event, organised by the SCC, is free and will be held on the foreshore picnic area. Let’s make it a great village social event – a chance to socialise outdoors before the winter sets in. If it is raining heavily we will cancel but all other weather we can deal with – see you there! Watch social media for developments or phone Ifor on 07971 038643.
