LIVE music, mouthwatering street food, crafts, games and a huge selection of Welsh beers and ciders kept punters in good spirits this weekend.

HaverBeer Fest drew hundreds of people to Haverfordwest town centre on Saturday, August 25, and Sunday, August 26.

An army of volunteers transformed the former Post Office building in Quay Street - which was hit by vandals just days earlier - into a bohemian paradise, with flowing fabrics, bunting and fairy lights.

Huge paintings from local artists decorated the walls, and demonstrated the wealth and breadth of local talent involved in the event.

Help was also on hand from organisers of the county town's annual bank holiday beer and cider festival - which has taken place at Haverfordwest Castle for the last decade - who were taking a break for 2018.

Singers, musicians and DJs graced the stage across the two days, with fantastic slots from the Chalk Outlines and James Smiles and the Telekinetics, Jonski, Llewellin Brothers, Cover-Up and many more.

Meanwhile youngsters made the most of facepainting, colouring and crafts and indoor games.

Organisers said they were thrilled with the turn-out, and despite a late start on Sunday due to heavy rain the festival ran as planned.

Thanks went to Haverfordwest Town Council, local businesses who sponsored the barrels, vendors and volunteers, as well as everyone who helped clean up the venue after three break-ins in one week caused hundreds of pounds worth of damage.

Twenty-six bottles of Prosecco were stolen, along with plastic ducks used for the town duck race, fire extinguishers were emptied, and windows smashed.

But an amazing £220 was raised in response to the vandalism.

A spokesman said: “The community response to our sad news was just amazing.

"We had masses of offers of help, new volunteers who came and helped for hours, and our crowdfunding campaign has raised £220 so far which is overwhelmingly generous.

"We’re so grateful to our community for their support!”

Gitti Coats, who has helped drive the Haverhub project from the beginning, said the "mellow, festival atmosphere" made for a wonderful weekend for visitors and families.

"The break-in lost us some time, but the positive was that we have got some wonderful new HaverHelpers as a result.

"Some real local heroes came forward, including one who stayed on site all week to make sure everything was safe for the big event.

"We had around 35-40 volunteers helping out each day, some of whom only came forward when they heard about the burglary, and many brought their children along too so there's been a wonderful family-friendly feel.

"It feels like we have known each other for years, and have all worked as one team, it's been brilliant."
