A message from the chairman of Narberth Chamber of Trade, Andrew Rees

It is a great honour for me as Narberth’s Chamber of Trade chair, to welcome Observer readers to our wonderful town at this magical time.

Shoppers who come to Narberth at any time of year, but especially at Christmas, are guaranteed a friendly welcome and a personal service. The trend seems to be to do as much Christmas shopping online as possible, and indeed many of our independent shops have an online presence. However, there is nothing like walking down one of the few traditional High Streets left, and browsing at the wonderful gifts, food and clothing on offer and picking out a present for that special family member or friend. We have a fantastic range of food shops in which you can purchase all of your Christmas fare and drinks.

Why not come along and experience for yourself the enchanting atmosphere, the sparkling festive lights and, as an added bonus, enjoy free car parking on Saturday and Sunday

So on behalf of the traders of Narberth, please let the Chamber of Trade welcome you to this unique town and share with you the festive spirit and excitement of the build up to Christmas. I would like to wish you all a very merry Christmas and a happy and healthy 2017.

A message from the Mayor of Narberth,

Clr. Ruth Platt.

As we approach the busy festive season of Christmas, may I extend a warm welcome to everyone to visit my home town of Narberth for your Christmas shopping.

Whether it will be the first time you visit Narberth or you have been here many times, you will be delighted to see what unique and contemporary shops we have to offer for your festive shopping.

On Saturday, December 10, there will be market stalls in the Queen’s Hall between 10 am and 4 pm, where I am sure you will get all your special presents and maybe some treats for everyone.

This is my third time of being Mayor of this beautiful, historic town and know that the display of Christmas lights are some of the best in Pembrokeshire.

I would like to thank all the church organisations and charities for the tireless work they do throughout the year, especially over the festive Christmas period to support many at a difficult time in their lives.

Myself and Mike would like to extend our very good wishes for a peaceful and joyful Christmas with family and friends and a healthy New Year.
