Dylan Thomas Boathouse in Laugharne hosts its first wedding
The Dylan Thomas Boathouse in Laugharne, once home to the celebrated Welsh poet, hosted its first ceremony on June 21, 2025, in a setting overlooking the Taf estuary. The newlyweds, Megan and Tom, became the first couple to marry at the site, signing the register in Dylan Thomas's iconic Writing Shed. Cllr Hazel Evans, Carmarthenshire County Council's cabinet member for regeneration, leisure, culture and tourism, said: "We're very thankful to Megan and Tom for choosing the Dylan Thomas Boathouse for their special day. "We couldn't have asked for a happier or more generous couple to inaugurate the museum as a wedding venue. "The museum makes a perfect venue for intimate weddings and celebrations and offers a unique blend of warmth and historic charm in a stunning location." The Boathouse is now part of a wider project led by CofGâr, Carmarthenshire County Council's museums and arts service, in collaboration with Carmarthenshire Registrars, to offer bespoke wedding and celebrant packages at some of the county's most distinctive venues. Other locations include the Museum of Land Speed and Parc Howard Museum. Cllr Evans said: "We're looking forward to continuing our partnership with the registrars service to deliver many more special occasions at CofGâr museums in the future." Couples interested in booking a wedding or special event at one of the venues can contact CofGâr by email at info@ or by calling 01267 228696.

Fortnite threatens to NEVER return to iPhones in the UK as game bosses slam ‘bleak' changes
The game has made a comeback to handsets in the US and EU - but a UK return looks 'uncertain' END GAME Fortnite threatens to NEVER return to iPhones in the UK as game bosses slam 'bleak' changes Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) FORTNITE fans have been dealt a huge blow as makers Epic have warned the game may never return to iPhones in the UK. The massively popular online title has been missing from the App Store since 2020 over a dispute on fees between Epic Games and Apple. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Fortnite has been locked in legal battles against Apple and Google Credit: Getty 3 The iOS version of Fortnite has been absent from the App Store since 2020 Credit: Getty Epic wants to launch its own app store, known as the Epic Games Store. So far, it's managed to land in the EU - and Fortnite has returned to iOS in the US too. The firm had hoped to bring the Epic Games Store to the UK in the second half of 2025. But in an update, the gaming giant says its return here is now looking "uncertain". Epic Games blames the competition regulator, the CMA, for "choosing not to prioritize opening the mobile ecosystem to alternative app stores this year". It described the CMA's latest proposals to improve mobile platforms as "bleak". "We can't bring the Epic Games Store to iOS in the UK this year (if ever), and Fortnite's return to iOS in the UK is now uncertain," bosses said. "Four years after concluding that the App Store and Google Play Store are parallel monopolies the CMA has done nothing to allow competing stores." Epic drew upon a recent US court order victory, which it says has benefited other popular apps like Spotify. "Unless Apple and Google are completely blocked from imposing fees and discriminating against apps using out-of-app payment, we can expect years of malicious compliance ahead, and no genuine restoration of market competition," Epic added. I'm a gamer granny & I'm hooked on Fortnite – now I've landed deal with huge global brand The firm said it will introduce the Epic Games Store and Fortnite to other countries, including Brazil and Japan, later this year. Android users are able to access Fortnite via the Epic Games Store but only by downloading it outside of the Google Play Store - a workaround Apple doesn't allow on iOS for security and safety. A spokesperson for the CMA told The Sun: "We are taking action on app distribution – which includes proposing a package of measures that would give UK developers distributing apps on the Play and App Stores a fair deal. "Our approach takes into account developments in other countries to ensure UK consumers and businesses don't fall behind. "Our focus on allowing app developers to steer consumers towards alternatives to the Play and App Store is a good example of this."
