Celebrated on or around the 8th March, International Women's Day is a global event connecting women from around the world and inspiring them to achieve their full potential. Visitors to the Llanelli event took part in an International Flag competition, created Easter egg displays and enjoyed food and songs from the many different communities living in Llanelli (including Poland, Nepal and Wales.)
