The Wonder Women Shortlist
This year Span Arts is celebrating 100 years of votes for women with a Wonder Women themed carnival parade. Narberth Civic Week and Span Arts will be taking over the High Street on Saturday 28th July with a spectacular carnival parade led by three giant “Wonder Women” puppets made by local community groups and volunteers.

Women from Dame Tanni Grey-Thompson to Emmeline Pankhurst, Beyoncé and Rosa Parks to Gwenllian, fierce Welsh warrior princess were nominated. Our crack team of local notables including Eluned Morgan AM whittled the long list down to this shortlist of local, national and international “Wonder Women”.
