ST DAVIDS will be roaring with dragons of all shapes, sizes and colours on Saturday, March 3, as the city's annual dragon parade takes to the streets.

Crowds will line the streets of Britain's smallest city to see local school children, scout groups and residential care group members marching proudly through the city centre with their crafty creations, accompanied by the 948 Squadron Air Training Corps Band.

"The Dragon Parade is a real celebration of Welsh culture and we are delighted that the event continues to be so well supported by so many local people and schools," said Oriel y Parc Manager, Jenn Jones.

"With Wales celebrating the Year of the Sea in 2018, there's no better time to visit this stunning peninsula and join in the St David's Day festivities as we mark the birth of the country's patron saint in the place he was born.

"There will also be an opportunity to see the St David's Day stone illuminated in the centre of the Oriel y Parc courtyard at 12 noon on Thursday March 1, weather permitting."

The Dragon Parade will leave Oriel y Parc courtyard at 11am and head to the High Street before travelling around the Cross Square. The parade will then return to Oriel y Parc.
