Milford Waterfront brings free Easter excitement to families in Pembrokeshire
MILFORD WATERFRONT says it is bringing free family Easter fun to Pembrokeshire once again this year with walkabout entertainment, face painting and more.
From the March 34 to the April 7 families will be able to take part in the Milford Waterfront Easter Trail, where children can search high and low all over Milford Waterfront for baskets brimming with colourful eggs to complete the trail sheet. Trail forms can be collected from outside the Milford Marina reception, Tŷ Milford Waterfront reception, and Milford Haven Museum. Or download a copy from the Milford Waterfront website from Saturday, March 23. Completed trail forms can then be handed in at Milford Marina reception for the chance to win an Easter Hamper and a giant Easter bunny.
On March 27, Rascal the Easter Bunny will be stopping by at Milford Museum to spread the Easter excitement between 12-2pm.
Furthermore, talented face paint artist Gabrielle Swales will be at Milford Museum on April 3 between 12pm – 1pm and 1:30pm – 2:30pm offering free face painting.
Milford Waterfront will also be visited by Danger UXB Museum on the April 6 and 7. Commemorating 80 years since D-Day, the exhibit is hands-on and features historical artifacts for families to learn more about the role that Milford Haven played in World War 2.
Natalie Hunt, Destination Manager for Milford Waterfront commented on the exciting plans, saying: “Easter is always so much fun for us here at Milford Waterfront! We love being able to put on fun free activities for families to enjoy when they come to visit our amazing range of shops and restaurants over the Easter holidays. It’s a great start to the season, and we are looking forward to a bright and fun year with everyone!”
Milford Waterfront’s businesses have plenty on offer over the Easter period too, with paddleboarding and kayaking at Milford Haven Beach Activity Centre, Parkruns every Saturday at 9am, an exhibit celebrating fascinating Pembrokeshire marine life at the Waterfront Gallery, and local produce from the shops and restaurants.

New card game ‘Tenby’ set to arrive soon!
TENBY is a captivating game that combines card drafting and strategic placement. Despite its abstract nature, it immerses players in the charm of the seaside town it’s named after, thanks to vibrant illustrations and recognisable landmarks.
The gameplay of Tenby focuses on tactics rather than luck. Players draft cards from a display and strategically place them in rows, following specific placement rules to maximise their scores based on feature adjacency. It’s quite the brain-teaser.
What makes Tenby truly stand out is its innovative action drafting system. Each round, players select actions from a shifting pool of cards, determining the turn order for the next round as well. This adds depth and strategy to each decision.
Tenby is suitable for all player counts, though it primarily offers a multiplayer-solitaire experience, which I personally appreciate. Turns are quick, ensuring there’s always something to ponder during downtime.
The vector art, while not my usual preference, bursts with colour and complements the game perfectly. I particularly enjoy the witty puns, such as the “Uptown Swirl” ice cream parlour!
It’s easy to learn and teach, with intuitive iconography. The unique action drafting mechanic adds layers of depth, and the vibrant art and theme increase its appeal.
After careful consideration, I struggled to find any downsides. Any suggestions I had are already on the designer’s to-do list, including an exciting solo mode!
