ASSETS to tourism in Llandudno

[Merddin Emrys]

The website was as much use as a chocolate fire Guard!

You could at least eat that if you did it quickly...

    I would not leave it near the fire Ian! Need to get back to my chocolate teapot now!

Then we have a broad agreement, it was rubbish!  Nice to be in the majority for once.

The website was also rubbish, ..... No list of events, no map... nothing!
Click on 'Categories'.... you get nothing,  and you get a cartoon picture of that tattooed man.
Apart from one or two A4 posters in kiosk windows, I never heard anything about it.

Waste of time.

All I saw was a load of plebs dressed up and shouting a lot - looked like a bad stag night to me.
Didn't realise it was an 'arts' festival until I saw a poster after the event.

Unless you understand modern art you are not going to appreciate the Llaw festival,and no i have;nt got a clue what it was about.

[Fester]

At least last year there was a team of attractive 'Trolley Dollies', marching up and down the pier with 1970's Air Hostess uniforms and wheelie cases.

I wouldn't call it art, but it was damned pleasing to the eye!   ZXZ

That was the year before, mate, part of the Adain Avion event, not Llawn.

High praise indeed Fester! I remember that pic, and Ringo Starr of Thomas the Tank fame in the middle

I did notice that a few of the empty shops on Mostyn St, had been cleaned and painted, for use by the artists, maybe not everybody's cup of tea, but every little helps.

Llandudno tourism attractions have one of their busiest summers on record

Statistics revealed by Cadw’s Heritage Tourism Project showed that 86,000 people visited the Llandudno Museum, Kendrick’s Cave on the Great Orme and the Orme’s visitors centre throughout the summer.                       (I am sure they meant to mention  "Orme Golf"....for family fun  )


A Cadw Heritage Tourism spokesperson, said: “This has been another fantastic year for tourism in Llandudno, and it has been one of the busiest summers on record with thousands flocking to the town to enjoy the various sites it has to offer.”

Eh?? What nonsense... how do you visit Kendrick's Cave?   .... and who's counting them?? 

 

[Bri Roberts]

Trojan visited Kendricks Cave when he was home last.

I didn't know it was open to the general public.

I always thought it was in someone's private garden?

[Fester]

It is Bri,  that's why such statistics can never be taken seriously.

[Jack]

I'm pretty sure it is meant to refer to the Copper Mines as they had significant monies earlier on this year.
