This letter encloses an events information form and requests details of Christmas and New Year events and events planned for 1993, for inclusion in both Bwrdd Croeso Cymru/Wales Tourist Board and British Tourist Board events listings/guides.

This Bwrdd Croeso Cymru / Wales Tourist Board events form, completed by Ian Horsburgh, advises that Charles Street Carnival, described as the “longest running community carnival in Cardiff with street theatre, stalls, exhibitions” will take place at Charles Street, Cardiff on Saturday 24 July 1993 from 11.00 to 18.00 and that the event is “Free!”. Disabled facilities to include “toilets, level spectator/performance areas”.

In June 1977, Cardiff Community Concern started the Charles Street Carnival as a community groups' alternative celebration of the Queen's Silver Jubilee. This became an annual event and grew into a separate organisation, Charles Street Arts Foundation. The Foundation came to employ artists and staff but was founded and run by volunteers. Cardiff Community Concern, also founded and run by volunteers, was an alternative advice and information centre for young people, based at 58 Charles Street. Both organisations were founded by Ian Horsburgh.
