Exclusive! Prince's Trust Production at Galeri Victoria Dock.

Caernarfon Online were invited to the Premier of the Prince's Trust Production of Boaz Pritchard. The short film entitled "The Curse of the Phantom Hearse" was adapted to the screen by Mike Jones. The project was funded by the Prince's Trust through grants from the Lottery Heritage Fund and help from locals and businesses in the area. It all came about following the youngsters involved reading about Boaz Pritchard  on Caernarfon Online's Historical website (edited by our very own T Meirion Hughes).

Meirion was recruited as chief historical advisor and helped the team along with the facts obtained from Caernarfon Archives at Victoria Dock.  Claire Waters coordinated the whole project and the end result was excellent. The "actors" were given the "red carpet" treatment and at the end of the performance received certificates and "Oscars" from the Mayor for their hard work.

Here is a short video of the day's proceedings. Well done to everyone involved.
