PEMBROKESHIRE AUGUST BANK HOLIDAY 2026: THE BIG VERIFIED WHAT'S ON GUIDE π
Clear the diary and find the sensible shoes. Pembrokeshire has live music, carnivals, castles, cinema, crafts, sport, family fun and enough ducks to worry a village pond. π¦
The Summer Bank Holiday is Monday 31 August. This guide covers Friday 28 August to Tuesday 1 September 2026.
Every listing below was checked on Wednesday 26 August against a current organiser, venue, official event page, live ticket system or current organiser poster. Ticket availability can change quickly, and outdoor events remain at the mercy of Pembrokeshire weather, so book or ring before making a long journey.
IMPORTANT TENBY UPDATE: The Tenby Summer Spectacular planned for Sunday 30 August has been officially cancelled. Please do not travel to Tenby Harbour expecting that event or its fireworks.
Save this post, share it with the group chat and tag the person who always says, "There's nothing on." π
