Pembrokeshire has a huge range of events that you can attend over the Christmas period. With scenic views and plenty of cosy experiences, it’s important to know what events are being held so you can make the most out of your trip.

Nightlife during the festive period

Traditional establishments in towns like Pembroke Dock and Fishguard often host live bands, quiz nights and holiday menus. Some venues even offer gaming machines for those who like to try their luck. The Lobster Pot Inn is an ideal spot with multiple games machines, including a claw machine, that you can try your hand at. Since Pembrokeshire doesn’t have a large-scale casino like you’d find in other major cities, if you’d prefer something less physically hands on, you have the option of signing up with an online bet casino that includes games such as 20p Roulette, Blackjack Classic, and an array of online slots. Whether you prefer the physical thrill of the catch with a claw machine or the apprehension from watching your virtual card being drawn, there is something for everyone in Pembrokeshire. 

Christmas markets and celebrations in Pembrokeshire 

Tenby’s Tudor Merchant House hosts an annual celebration to commemorate the Christmas period. The seaside town looks fantastic at this time of year, with plenty of local craft stalls, entertainment, and food vendors. You can also visit Pembroke Castle, for more Christmas-themed activities. Narberth is also known for boutique shopping, with plenty of festive charm. There you can expect to find handmade crafts, seasonal goodies and a full Christmas market.

If you want a more scenic experience, you may enjoy a festive walk in Newport. People often go stargazing there, and it’s not surprising to see fireworks displays held as the nights grow darker. Just make sure you wrap up warm because Pembrokeshire is on the coast, you can expect strong gusts of wind, which can make the chill feel worse than it is. With that being said, you’ll have an unobstructed view of the stars, which is a great way for you to finish off a night of fun. 

Events and ticketed experiences 

If you’d rather attend an event, there are many to choose from. Llys y Fran is held between the 7th and 8th of December, with a charming market full of decorations. The St Brides Spa Hotel also gives people the chance to enjoy afternoon tea and a Christmas feast. This is being held on various dates, with the final bookings taking place on Christmas Eve. You’ll need to pay in advance if you want to be able to take part in this, as it’s very popular and places are booking up fast. 

The Torch Theatre, which you’ll find in Milford Haven, is also known for hosting a range of festive performances. This includes live shows and concerts. As November comes to an end, you can expect to see even more announced for the festive period, so keep an eye out. Theatre Gwaun in Fishguard also hosts a range of festive film screenings, suited to those who want to do something relaxed and enjoyable.

Other options include the Picton Castle Christmas Lights. This event is held throughout December and if you book a ticket, you will be able to go and see the various light displays that are held there. In winter, the whole place becomes a wonderland, with enchanted experiences suitable for everyone. Sometimes there are additional seasonal activities that you can take part in. This includes themed tours and seasonal crafts, however, more will be announced as time goes on. You can usually book tickets online, which makes it easier to plan your experience.

The much-anticipated Milford Haven Round Table Santa Run is bringing festive joy to the community this week, with Santa and his sleigh visiting neighbourhoods across Milford Haven. Beginning tonight at 5:30pm, Father Christmas will make his grand appearance at Milford Haven Rugby Club before setting off on his first route.
