Iconic castles and harbours set to host family favourites and Hollywood blockbusters

THE TORCH THEATRE has announced the return of its popular Sunset Cinema season for 2025, bringing open-air film screenings to some of the most scenic locations in west Wales. Held in association with Pure West Radio, this year’s line-up includes showings at Pembroke Castle, Saundersfoot Harbour and—for the first time—Cardigan Castle.

The season opens on Saturday, July 26 with Top Gun: Maverick at Saundersfoot Harbour. Over the following month, audiences will be treated to a mix of blockbusters and family classics, including Toy Story, Bohemian Rhapsody, The Lion King, Grease, and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, all shown on a state-of-the-art outdoor LED screen.

Artistic Director Chelsey Gillard said: “The Torch Theatre can’t wait to entertain audiences during the long, warm summer days and nights at some truly iconic locations across our beautiful county. From Saundersfoot Harbour to Pembroke Castle—and now Cardigan Castle too—what better venues to enjoy your favourite films under the stars or in the afternoon sun?”

A season of highlights

New for 2025, Cardigan Castle will host several screenings including Toy Story, Top Gun, The Lion King, Elvis and a special 18+ showing of Saturday Night Fever. Meanwhile, Pembroke Castle will close the season in magical style with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on Friday, August 29, followed by Wicked on Saturday, August 30.

Tŵr y Felin in St Davids also joins the line-up this year, screening Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl on Saturday, August 16.

Ms Gillard added: “We try not to let the Pembrokeshire weather affect our screenings—so even if it rains, the show will go on. Only in cases of extreme weather, like dangerously high winds, will we cancel. We advise everyone to dress for the conditions and check the forecast beforehand.”

PREHISTORIC FUN COMES TO MILFORD HAVEN

DINOSAURS will be roaming Milford Waterfront later this month as Dinomania brings a day of prehistoric entertainment to the town.

The popular dinosaur attraction will take over the waterfront on Wednesday, May 27, with three interactive shows taking place throughout the afternoon.

Each show will last around 50 minutes and promises plenty of audience participation, prehistoric facts, and family-friendly fun.

Before the ticketed shows begin, visitors are being encouraged to keep an eye out around Milford Waterfront, where Dinomania’s dinosaurs will be out and about during a free walkabout performance between 10:30am and 11:30am.

The walkabout will give families the chance to see the dinosaurs up close and enjoy some entertainment around the waterfront before the main shows get underway.

Milford Waterfront said: “Dinomania will be taking over Milford Waterfront on Wednesday, May 27, with three exciting shows taking place throughout the afternoon.

“Each show lasts approximately 50 minutes and is packed with interactive moments and prehistoric fun.”

Tickets can be booked through the Milford Waterfront website.

Hubberston Girls exhibition launches new space at Waterfront Gallery

A NEW exhibition exploring memories of growing up on a council estate has opened at the Waterfront Gallery in Milford Haven.

Artist Lynn Stuart is launching the gallery’s new exhibition space with her solo show, Hubberston Girls, which runs until Saturday, May 30.

The exhibition features a deeply personal series of works drawn and painted on brown paper. The material was chosen for its connection to everyday memories, including lunch bags and magazines wrapped in paper.

Once oiled, the paper becomes semi-transparent, allowing paint to be applied to the reverse and creating layered, intimate images.

The Waterfront Gallery is extending its opening hours for the exhibition and will be open Monday to Saturday, from 10:30am to 4:00pm.

A private view will be held on Thursday, May 14, from 3:00pm to 6:00pm, and all are welcome.

The gallery is based in the Old Sail Loft on Discovery Quay, Milford Waterfront, Milford Haven. It is one of south west Wales’s leading art galleries, a registered charity, and home to the Wales Contemporary annual competition.

The gallery is run by artist volunteers who exhibit there regularly.

A FAMILY dinosaur show 65 million years in the making is heading to Milford Haven this summer.

Dinosaur Adventure Live: Danger on T-Rex Mountain will headline the Torch Theatre on Thursday, July 30.

The interactive stage show promises storytelling, puppetry, humour and science as young audiences join a team of rangers on a mission to recover a data crystal, restore power to the island and save the dinosaurs.

Children will be encouraged to stomp, roar and swish their tails as they meet baby dinosaurs, learn “Dino-Facts” and come face-to-face with a roaring T-Rex.

Created by Mike Newman, the producer behind Exciting Science, the show is now in its fifth year and is aimed at families with children aged four and over.

The performance lasts one hour, with no interval, and there will be a meet-and-greet after the show.

Tickets are available from the Torch Theatre.
