Nashville Day to takeover Chepstow town centre ahead of Castell Roc event

To tie in with Castell Roc’s A Country Night in Nashville at Chepstow Castle, Hannah’s Music will be delivering the warm-up to the main event.

They have planned a free ‘Nashville Day’ to coincide with the Nashville night on Saturday, August 17.

Below the arch in Chepstow town centre will be closed to traffic and there will be a sign saying 'Welcome to Nashville.'

Adding to the theme, there will be American cars, American bikes, bucking bronco, children’s carousels, a Fun Casino (inside the palmer centre), fun stalls (coconut shy, hook a duck, pick a prize, hoopla etc), candy floss, ice cream, burgers, and a barbecue.

The fire brigade are decorating their fire engine and dressing up as cowboys, with SARA (Severn Area Rescue Association) also getting involved.

American flags and bunting - decorated by local schools, Brownies, Guides, and Cub groups - will be on display.

There will be a treasure hunt to take people around the shops, plus a competition to win two tickets for the Nashville night at Chepstow Castle for best dressed cowboy and cowgirl.
