Pembroke's Christmas Market - November 28th - 30th


The Christmas Market in Pembroke Castle
Christmas kicked off early in Pembroke with the Christmas Market at Pembroke Castle on November 28th.  This is a very big event attracting thousands so we put together a stall to promote the work of Pembroke Town Council and  Pembroke Town Hall which, as well as housing both the Pembroke Murals and Museum, is  a great venue for events.  Town Councillors and Museum Volunteers manned the stall throughout the three days of the Festival creating much interest our work  and in the Town Council's plans for regeneration which include a new Town Trail and a statue of Henry VII.

In the evening Santa came to town, abseiling down the Keep then proceeding in his sleigh down the Main Street to St Michael's Square, followed by a huge crowd - the largest seen in Pembroke in many a year!  There were carols around the Christmas tree and boxes of sweets given out to the children.  We were blessed with a lovely, fine, mild night.
