PEMBROKESHIRE COUNTY COUNCIL is seeking expressions of interest for table-top pop-up offerings within the popular indoor market in Tenby.

It is hoped that the pop-up stalls will showcase local produce, generate additional footfall and make a positive contribution to the vibrancy of the market.

Potential stall holders can apply for just one day or for regular slots right up to Christmas. Prices for a day start at just £25.

It is hoped that this will provide an opportunity for new businesses and those people wanting to ‘dip their toe in the water’. If successful, it’s hoped there will be ongoing opportunities for more pop-up stalls as a regular feature.

The initiative has come about from joint work between Pembrokeshire County Council and Tenby Town Council. They are working together to see how the market can be enhanced in the short term

County Councillor for Tenby South, Cllr. Sam Skyrme-Blackhall said: “I am pleased that we are offering this chance for local craftspeople, artists and producers to sell their goods in Tenby’s market. This is the start of a long-term plan to improve our market. We know that this is a small first step but I hope it shows everyone that we are committed to the market and determined to enhance it for everyone.”

Council Officers and Councillors have visited other markets to get ideas and Cllr Skyrme-Blackhall added: “We are proud of our market. We have some fabulous local businesses in there and I hope that this is a chance for new businesses to make a start.”

In addition to the pop-up stalls Pembrokeshire County Council is inviting choirs interested in performing to get in touch with them to perform in the market in the lead up to Christmas. The Town Council will be working with stall holders to create a Christmas atmosphere in the market.

Anyone interested in further information should contact PCC and request an application form by sending an email to [email protected]

MILFORD HAVEN BUSINESS CIRCLE is calling on the community to join the launch of its new Litter-Free Zone.

In partnership with Keep Wales Tidy Pembrokeshire, the initiative aims to create a cleaner, greener town centre while promoting environmental responsibility and community pride.

The event marks a collective effort to raise awareness about the importance of maintaining a litter-free environment and highlights the far-reaching benefits of a cleaner town centre.

The organisation says that a cleaner, more attractive town centre is key to drawing visitors and potential investors.

This initiative is expected to stimulate economic activity, benefiting local businesses and encouraging growth in Milford Haven.

The project not only enhances the town’s appearance but also instils a sense of pride among residents. By improving cleanliness, the initiative aims to encourage more community participation in local events and activities.

Reducing litter has significant environmental benefits, including:

Protecting Wildlife: Preventing harm to animals caused by ingestion or entanglement.
Cleaner Air and Water: Reducing pollution in streets and waterways, fostering healthier ecosystems.
Sustainable Practices: Encouraging recycling and proper waste disposal to cut down on the town’s environmental footprint.
Creating Green Spaces: Supporting the development of habitats, recreational areas, and improved air quality for residents.

The Milford Haven Business Circle believes this initiative will set a strong example for other communities, demonstrating the power of collective action in fostering a sustainable future.

By joining this movement, participants can contribute to making Milford Haven a shining example of environmental care and community cooperation. Let’s work together to transform our town into a cleaner, greener space for all to enjoy.
