Established in 1993, this Carmarthen-based
organisation originally secured its reputation with quality Antiques Fairs at
a variety of venues across south and west Wales. However, it was their
flagship event, the Carmarthen Antiques Fair, at the United Counties
Showground which was everyone’s favourite and that is where Towy
Events have consolidated all its Shows in recent
years.
The Showgroundoffers excellent facilities for
these events with easy access directly off the main A40 (west) trunk road it
is within easy reach of all major towns in mid- Wales, as well as from the
Valley and the M4 corridor and regularly draws large crowds from all
direction. There is plenty of level parking and a variety of excellent catering
at every event.
The Antiques Fairs, two-day
weekend events, take place four times each year in March, May,
September and November and offer up to 180 indoor stands all in the
main exhibition hall on the Showground. There is a long queue on
Saturday morning and a great buzz of business from the start, and visitors
love its friendly atmosphere, the knowledgeable regular dealers who bring
such a huge variety of antiques and genuine collectors’ items to
Carmarthen.
In the last two years, and in light of the prevailing
financial climate, Towy Events have added a one-day ‘no-frills’
Antiques & Flea Market to their calendar. Dealers and
private sellers alike bring all manner of antiques, collectables and just
plain second-hand goods for sale! This is great fun, with stands both
inside and out, and regularly attracts large crowds of bargain
hunters.
Towy Events have organised a number of lifestyle
shows in recent years and their Caravan & Motorhome
Show has really established itself as a major showcase event in
South Wales for this expanding market. Again, the prime location of the
Carmarthen Showground lends itself ideally for this outdoor and indoor
event, which also accommodates hundreds of enthusiasts who can book
in to stay on site for the duration of this three day Show. With the Spring
Show now in its fourth year, an autumn fixture was added in 2009 and
looks set to be as popular as the April event.
