A CAPACITY crowd came to Manorbier's Swing the Castle on August 3, helping raise nearly £2,000 for charities.

The family night out saw the ever-popular Rin Tins supported by Karsilama.

Mums and dads, children and grandparents all came to listen to the music, enjoy a picnic, a burger and a drink from the bar.

The Rin Tins showed once again why they are one of the UK’s most popular festival bands.

The band’s ethos is to get them dancing and their blend of gipsy swing rhythms and pounding oopma beat compels audiences to get up and live the music.

The event was organised by the Rin Tins in support of MIND Pembrokeshire.

At the end of the event, Jim Davies of the Rin Tins presented a cheque for £1,326 to Tracey Price, CEO of MIND Pembrokeshire; the profits from the gate.

This will aid their work supporting mental health in our community.

Pembroke Rotary Club, which provided the barbecues, raised an additional £640, which will support Rotary charities.

Tracey Price said: “Everyone who attended had an awesome night in beautiful surroundings – a big thank you to Manorbier Castle for hosting this amazing event. It was another example of the community coming together to support important causes.”

The Rin Tins would like to thank Manorbier Castle who donated this wonderful venue free of charge.
