THE PORTHCAWL ELVIS FESTIVAL 2010 - ANY REMAINING TICKETS CAN NOW ONLY BE OBTAINED FROM THE GRAND PAVILLION BOX OFFICE (01656 815995)
2010 OFFICIAL SHOWS
Once again, at the Grand Pavilion, we are retaining the popular Floorshow format that turns the venue into a full blown ‘Elvis in Vegas’ experience. People seated downstairs can enjoy a running bar throughout the evening. After the evening shows finish at around 10.30 the Elvis Disco Party will run until late and is also open to Circle ticket holders. This year we have a combination of the traditional shows, something new and a brand new blockbuster to close the Festival:
