FORTHCOMING LOCAL EVENTS

Our Programme of Events will recommence in September but here are some local events in which we are participating.

On Saturday July 19th, we have the annual River Rally – a popular event in Pembroke Town Council’s calendar. Boats arrive in the Castle Pond at 11am and the event finishes at 4pm. Activities, stalls, music – a fun day for all the family.

Forward to August – there are 3 items of interest taking place during the first week:

Monday 4th August – ‘Unearthing History’ event in Carew Castle between 10am and 4pm. An eventful day with plenty of activities and a series of talks.  We will be there with a stall.

Wednesday 6th August – The Pembroke Town and Country Show.  One of the biggest events of the year and we will have a stall there.

Thursday 7th August -  At the Tabernacle Church, Main Street, Pembroke, there is to be a talk by Dr Rob Dinnis at 2.30pm,which will be repeated at 7pm. Dr Dinnis has led the dig in Wogan’s Cavern and during that week he will be conducting an exploratory archaeological dig in the cave in the Church garden.

Although we do not meet during the summer months, the Society is very busy with the running of the Museum. We have made many alterations and improvements this year so hope you may like to visit.  We are open weekdays between 10am – 3pm; 1pm on Fridays. (see Museum Page).

All work carried out by members of this Society is voluntary  and there are plenty of volunteering opportunities.  We organise many events to promote our history and run Pembroke Museum.  We put up exhibitions and displays in support of community events and also support other voluntary organisations' fundraising efforts. We give talks, arrange walks and write articles.  And more.
