EARLY preparations are being made ahead of the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza, in the hope it can go ahead.

The committee said they are "fully prepared" to proceed with the event if government restrictions allow.

A statement on Facebook read: "We have been getting lots of messages asking if the 2021 Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza will be going ahead. The committee are fully prepared to proceed with the event if the climate allows the government to lift restrictions on events such as ours.

"We are fully aware many of you will be wanting to book travel and accommodation based on our decision and hopefully we will have a clearer picture by the end of February.

"We will keep you posted on any relevant information please bear with us and thank you for your support."

The event, which was established more than 30 years ago and normally takes place on the first May bank holiday weekend each year, was cancelled in 2020 due to the pandemic.

The festival celebrates Llandudno’s Victorian heritage, bringing a display of traditional entertainment, parades and exhibits to the town.

The event usually see thousands of people descend on the town.
