Pembroke Festival 2008

Visit project website

Pembroke Festival 2008. This sixth annual festival will provide a backdrop of entertainment for the flotillas of heritage boats visiting Castle Pond during Sea Fair Milford Haven 2008. Most importantly, however, the events will showcase local talent and be a reason for the community to come together to celebrate Pembroke’s unique sense of place.

The main events, based on our historic South Quay, will go on until 11pm and, appropriately, the theme is maritime. The Festival will begin, promptly, at 5.30pm on Thursday 19th June when maroons will go up to start a spectacular procession led by a huge sculpture of Poseidon made, as ever, by the fantastic Sand Palace Arts. He will be followed by local school children carrying sea monsters and fish and accompanied by local musicians.

Over the following three days you will be able to enjoy music in all forms, dance, drama, talks, pavement art, food and drink, model boats, walks, bike rides, competitions, quizzes, photos, exhibitions, circus skills and, of course, boats, boats and more boats! Most of the events are free to make them accessible to everyone.
