DEGANWY hosted a day of fun-filled activities last Saturday (June 3) for its annual prom day.
Kicking off with the extremely popular “Deganwy Dash”, there was music from Beulah Band and “Choirs For Good”, with a fun dog show starting just after lunch.
The activities didn’t stop there, as there were more events in the afternoon from Conwy Sea Cadets, and a generous raffle to finish off the day.

Speaking after the event, Janet Finch-Saunders, Aberconwy MS, said: “It was a joy to visit the prom day, and see hundreds, if not thousands of people supporting this excellent event that provides a free day out for members of the whole family.
“There were so many activities that everyone could take part in, with the entire promenade full with music, shows, stalls and stands. The atmosphere was magnificent!
“Free events such as this are extremely important to support our local economy, and it was exciting to see all the different charities and organisations, and meet their incredible volunteers.
“There were so many to choose from but some of them were the RNLI, Cllr Ian Turner with the Save North Shore Beach petition, Tenvous Cymru, Cllr Helen Roberts, Maethu Cymru/ Foster Wales and Damian Plant with the St David’s Hospice volunteers.
“Whilst enjoying the lovely sunshine, which was a perfect excuse to enjoy a well-deserved ice cream, I was serenaded by Ron Watson Jones from Penmaenmawr as he was performing his Rockin Ron act.
“I felt like Juliet in Shakespeare's play.”

The Colwyn Bowmen, a target archery club from Colwyn Bay, were also in attendance, offering people the chance to take aim and give the activity a go.
Beach House Sands were also back again this year, providing an innovative stall of art and crafts all made with colourful sand.
The Prom Day returned to the town for the first time in three years in 2022, having not been held since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mrs Finch-Saunders added: “I am extremely thankful for so many people attending and supporting this event, and I was honoured to witness the newly appointed Cllr Eva Roberts at her first formal event, as mayor of Conwy.
“I want to thank the committee, and their volunteers that helped make this event possible.
“In addition, every charity, organisation, and individual that contributed to making this event so fun-filled.
“I cannot wait to attend again next year!”
