Welcome to the Pembroke & Monkton Local History Society Website!

FORTHCOMING EVENTS

On Saturday morning April 5th, we have a talk by Colin Potter, who is the Secretary of Dyfed Family History Society.Colin will tell you how to get started and also how to improve on your Family Tree, with examples based on his own family in Pembrokeshire. Doors open at 10am for the Coffee Morning followed by the Talk at 11am. However, we will not be able to open up the Museum as we usually do.  Building works taking place in the Town Hall have prevented us opening the Museum so far this year - it is to be hoped that we will open again for Easter.

Also in April , we have another of our popular Quiz Nights in Pembroke Town Hall on Friday 25th at 7pm. Entry is £5 payable at the door and includes a tasty buffet - tea and coffee provided but you may bring your own wine if you wish.

This brings us to the final talk of our 24/25 programme.  On Saturday May 3rd Andi Jones will talk to us about St Catherine's Island, Tenby: its History, Restoration and Future. I must add that this is a great place to visit if you have not already done so! As usual, doors open at 10am for coffee and this time there will be an opportunity to visit the Museum and Council Chamber, which are situated on the first floor of the Town Hall – a lift is available for disabled access. The Talk takes place at 11am in the main hall on the ground floor.

All are welcome to the Talks and entry is free. Proceeds from the Coffee Morning and raffle cover our overheads.

You can download our complete 2025 programme from the links on this page.

We are a voluntary group dedicated to raising the awareness of our history and preserving the memory for future generations.  So join us if you like - through popular demand we now have a membership at the nominal fee of £3 and welcome new members.  If you do not wish to join, our events remain free unless otherwise stated as for our fundraising quizzes.

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.
