The Town Crier have featured in The Tenby Observer for paying homage to one of Tenby’s great ambassadors, John Thomas who was Tenby’s town crier for over 30 years and one of the longest-serving in Wales.
John Thomas was a great ambassador for Tenby, promoting the town throughout the world while attending town crier events, and indeed was responsible for bringing four national crier contests to the resort. He was rightly proud of his role as town crier, and was especially proud when his wife Caroline herself became Mayor of Tenby.
Our new premises on Upper Frog Street was previously home of the popular ‘Clarice Toy Shop’ which was ran by John and his wife Caroline for many years before he passed away in 2011. Our name ‘The Town Crier’ is a fitting tip of the hat to the late great ‘Yobbler’ and his family.
“The Thomas family were incredibly helpful when we purchased the property and knowing how much John gave to the community for over 30 years as the longest serving Town Crier in Wales, passionately promoting Tenby and Pembrokeshire across the world, we thought it’d be fitting to tip our hat to the late great man, affectionately known as ‘Yobbler’ and his family. A huge thanks to the Thomas family for making this new venture possible and we hope we do the ‘Yobbler’ proud.
Our brand new premises is currently under renovation and we are due to open Summer 2024. We are very much looking forward to bringing this exciting new venture to the community of Tenby.
