Police let an illegal rave in Wales go on for two days

The Bank Holiday vibes were real

Ravers managed to keep an illegal rave going for two days in Carmarthenshire, Wales over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Taking place in between the villages of Brechfa and Abergorlach, the party kicked off in the early hours of Sunday morning and police were overseeing it for the entirety.

Local reports state the music briefly came to an end at 6pm on Sunday, but started up again and was at its loudest on Monday morning.

Despite unsurprising complaints from local residents, police let the rave continue because they felt it wouldn't be possible to safely remove people from the site. Instead, they blocked the main road to rave and stopped more people from entering.

Someone who was in attendance reckons there was about 1000 people there, although police claim it was in the hundreds.
