Enjoy a magical Christmas at Milford Marina
VISITORS to Milford Marina can experience a white Christmas inside a giant snow globe next month, when a day of festive celebrations takes place on Sunday, December 11. The globe will be located outside Milford Museum between 11am and 4pm, weather permitting.
Inside the museum, children can meet Santa and his helpers in his Grotto. Other attractions on the day will include a walkabout magician, entertainment from Milford Haven Town Band and festive sales from Trwffl and St Ishmael’s Garden Centre which will be selling Christmas trees, handmade wreaths and table decorations.
Neil Jenkins, Destination Director at the Port of Milford Haven, said: “This is set to be a fantastic festive event for all the family and we’re looking forward to seeing lots of people having their photo taken in the giant snow globe, and letting Santa know what they would like for Christmas.
“We have had a busy year of events here at the marina and there will be many more to come as we develop Milford Waterfront. There is a wide selection of independent businesses at the marina, selling everything from ladies fashion to Christmas gifts and jewellery, and we hope that these businesses all have a successful December.”
There’s also a chance for one lucky person to win a magical Christmas by signing up to Milford Marina’s e-newsletter online by December 19.

Motorist almost three times over drink limit
A MOTORIST who was nearly three times over the drink-drive limit has been sentenced following a crash on the B4314 in Pendine.
Stuart Rickford, 43, was driving his Audi at 1:30pm on November 15 when he collided with another vehicle.
“There were no injuries, but when officers spoke to the defendant they had a strong smell of intoxicants,” Crown Prosecutor Linda Baker told the court.
A roadside breath test proved positive, and Rickford, of Beach Hotel, Marsh Road, Pendine, later gave a reading of 93 mcg of alcohol at the police station. The legal limit is 35.
Rickford pleaded guilty and was sentenced to a 12-month Community Order with 80 hours of unpaid work. He was disqualified from driving for 23 months and ordered to pay a £114 court surcharge and £85 costs.

Man jailed for threats at Withybush Hospital
A HAVERFORDWEST man has been sentenced to seven days in custody after threatening to harm members of the public at Withybush Hospital.
Wayne Tydeman, 42, made threats while speaking to a community practice nurse following his release from a 24-week custodial sentence.
“He was on post-sentence supervision, and this is the first breach,” probation officer Julie Norman told the court.
Tydeman, of Dew Street, Haverfordwest, was remanded in custody and appeared via video link from Park Prison. His solicitor said his mental health had improved during his time in custody.
Judge Layton sentenced him to seven days in custody, warning: “If you fail to engage in the future, the sentence will be considerably longer.”
