Porthcawl will be “All Shook Up” this weekend by Elvis Festival

Thousands of people are expected to flock to the Porthcawl Elvis Festival this weekend.

The Festival is now in its third year and is the biggest of its kind in Europe. There will be many people visiting the local area for the first time and it is a chance for us to show to them what we have to offer.

Coming at the end of the season, it will prove to be a welcome shot in the arm for the tourism sector in Porthcawl. Most of the hotels were fully booked weeks ago so clearly, Elvis still has a huge following.

The organisers have worked hard to build this festival into major event and I wish them every success. I will be helping to launch the Porthcawl Elvis Festival on Friday, 29 September 2006.
