Our aim is to bring life to the other side of Ammanford and bring more attention to the arcade. We are hoping to introduce people to the area who perhaps haven't visited Ammanford before which could benefit tourism.
'We have tried to offer things in the market that are not known in Ammanford. But we are sticking to businesses based in Carmarthenshire. There will be a good variety of products, and we want the market to be authentic.
'Other businesses have jumped on board. One local business even cancelled their trip to another market so they could come and take part in this one.
'The local council has also been fantastic with helping us to get licensing. It feels like the whole community is very appreciative of what we are creating.'

'Love Ammanford? Then show up, have a wander, grab a treat, and support the people behind the stalls. Even just popping by makes a huge difference! This isn't just a market. It's a movement. If we want to keep something this special… we've got to show up for it.
'Don't miss out – bring your mates, your nan, your dog and your tote bags! Let's make some noise, Ammanford.'

Man with five wives 'exploring' bringing in sixth partner 'to help our family'
Polyamorous Jame Barrett currently enjoys the company of Cameron, 29, Jessica, 31, Reta, 28, Gabby, 30, and 30-year-old Diana - and insists it's not about 'having more sex' A man with multiple "wives" has said he is looking for a sixth to 'cap' his romantic endeavours. Polyamorous Jame Barrett currently enjoys the company of Cameron, 29, Jessica, 31, Reta, 28, Gabby, 30, and 30-year-old Diana, but is now 'looking for my sixth wife'. Jame, 30, has insisted his dream is not about 'having more sex' and stressed how any new addition to the family would 'need to make sense for everyone' involved. He wants his new bride to fit in well with him and his other wives and for them to have a 'good personality'. Jame, a recording artist from Los Angeles, told that applications are now open. 'I'm outspoken and outgoing, whereas my women are more reserved and shy,' he said. 'But they keep me grounded and are super supportive of me.' Jame's polyamorous situation, a style of relationship that is romantic or sexual with a number of in-the-know and consenting partners, has seen him be with Cameron and Jessica for 13 years. He has also been with Reta for eight years, Gabby for seven and Diana for four. Jame said: 'A sixth person would be my cap. I'm already allowed to mess around with girls outside of my marriage. 'So getting a sixth wife is not about having more sex or having someone new, it would need to make sense for everyone, like how would she help our family. Not just me, all of us.' Currently, there are mixed messages coming from Jame's wives regarding a potential sixth match. In an Instagram post to his 75,000 followers, Jame said some are helping him search, but others are a 'mixed bag'. He said: 'Some are helping me search, but they are a mixed bag. One has said yes, another has said no, and the others are on the fence. 'I wouldn't force my wives to accept a sixth, it has to be unanimous. It will be a very big deal for us.' The group of Jame and his wives are known as 'The Barretts'. They have also shared a video of themselves sifting through applications. The wives can be seen nodding or shaking their heads. In the clip, Jame can also be spotted waving his arms around. The post has the caption: 'If you want to be a Barrett, you have to vibe with us and him.' It has since gained over 1,200 likes and hundreds of comments. One person wrote said: 'It only makes sense she has to vibe with you all. Good luck on your search.' Another added: 'At this point, he's lustful and does things for selfish reasons. This is crazy.'

However, it might signal that he struggles with responsibility. Multi-Partner Fantasies: Craving variety doesn't always mean he wants to cheat. However, it could indicate deeper feelings of unfulfillment. Power & Control: A little dominance is normal, but if it's always about control, it may hide insecurities. Adventure: Men seeking thrills may push boundaries, so be sure your comfort zone is respected. Passion: If he's romantic, he's emotionally tuned in—though occasionally avoiding tough conversations. Flexibility: Openness to new experiences is great, but constant novelty-seeking could mean avoiding emotional connection. Red Flag: If control is his ultimate fantasy, it may signal a deeper struggle with power dynamics.

James Cameron taking a break from Avatar as he tackles 'new challenge'
Director James Cameron is putting the behemoth that is the Avatar franchise to one side as he takes on a new job. Avatar: Fire and Ash, the third instalment, is 'winding down' production with a trailer expected soon as the film is due out later this year. Instead of starting on the fourth film – due out in 2029 – Cameron has revealed he's going to be adapting a new novel called The Devils. In a statement on social media, the 70-year-old filmmaker has confirmed his production company Lightstorm Entertainment acquired the rights to author Joe Abercrombie's book. Cameron and Abercrombie will be co-writing the script together for the fantasy story which was released just last month and became an instant bestseller. 'I've loved Joe's writing for years, cherishing each new read, throughout the epic cycle of the First Law books, especially Best Served Cold (LOVE IT!), and the 'Age of Madness' trilogy,' the Titanic legend said. He continued: 'But the freshness of the world and the characters in 'The Devils' finally got me off my butt to buy one of his books and partner with him to bring it to the screen. 'I can't wait to dig into this as I wind down on Avatar: Fire and Ash. It will be a joyful new challenge for me to bring these indelible characters to life.' The Devils focuses on a special force of monsters tasked to save Europe from flesh-eating elves – with a plot like that, we're not surprised the esteemed director rushed to get involved. Praising the filmmaker, Abercrombie said: 'I can't think of anyone better to bring this weird and wonderful monster of a book to the screen.' With only four years to go before the as-yet-untitled Avatar 4, it's unclear if Cameron is planning to be hands-on for The Devils' entire production. If he wasn't busy enough, he's also directing another novel adaptation; The Last Train From Hiroshima by Charles Pellegrino. There's also the illusive adaptation of Taylor Stevens' novel The Informationist that Lightstorm Entertainment purchased the rights to in 2012. Dedicated film fans will remember that at the time Cameron said he'd direct it once Avatar was completed – we won't hold our breath on that one. Avatar: Fire and Ash is slated for a December 2025 release with the sequels following in 2029 and 2031 respectively. The previous instalment, Way of the Water, clocked in at three hours and 12 minutes but Cameron is promising that the follow-up will be even longer. He told Empire magazine: 'In a nutshell, we had too many great ideas packed into act one of movie 2. The [film] was moving like a bullet train, and we weren't drilling down enough on character. 'So I said, 'Guys, we've got to split it.' Movie 3 will actually be a little bit longer than movie 2.' Script co-writer Amanda Silver seconded this feeling saying 'the characters needed to breathe.' More Trending She said: 'These movies are a lot more than just propulsive plot and gorgeous spectacle. I mean, these are real characters.' Cameron is feeling 'pretty good' about this next Avatar, having allowed a handful of people to screen the film already. He previously told Stuff: 'I've shown it to a few selected people and the feedback has been … it's definitely the most emotional and maybe the best of the three so far. 'We'll find out, you know, but I feel pretty good about it.' Got a story?
