WHAT’S ON IN PEMBROKESHIRE: MONDAY 8 JUNE TO SUNDAY 14 JUNE 2026
Pembrokeshire has a busy week ahead, with history, music, nature, community projects, family activities and a few handy offers all happening across the county.
Whether you fancy a castle concert, a wildflower walk, a beachside community project or something a little different, there is plenty to explore. As always, please check with organisers before travelling, because dates, times and details can change quicker than someone saying, “We’ll just pop into Tenby for an hour.”
