Santa’s Magical Visit to Pembroke Town Hall
On Sunday, 7th December, Pembroke Town was filled with festive cheer as the Mayor warmly welcomed Santa Claus, who arrived on his sleigh to the delight of an excited crowd of children.
The Town Hall was transformed into a winter wonderland, with youngsters enjoying a snow dome bouncy castle and a magical trip to Santa’s Grotto. Each child received a special gift from Santa and his helpful Elves, making the evening truly unforgettable.
Parents joined in the celebration too, relaxing with free tea, coffee, and mince pies while watching their children’s faces light up with joy.
The event brought the whole community together, marking the start of the Christmas season in Pembroke with laughter, excitement, and festive spirit.
Pembroke Town Council is pleased to announce that Pembroke Museum has been awarded full accreditation status by the Welsh Government.

Pembroke Town Council is pleased to announce that Pembroke Museum has been awarded full accreditation status by the Welsh Government. To qualify for the award, museums must meet standards on how they are managed, on the services they offer and how they manage their collections.
Situated in the Town Hall’s old Magistrate’s Court, the museum took its first steps a decade ago as a project of Pembroke Town Council’s Regeneration Committee, which was set up in 2013 to undertake projects to enhance the town. Pembroke & Monkton Local History Society was asked if it could undertake the task and they agreed to give it a go.
Said Society Chairman Linda Asman (who is also the Museum Hon. Curator):
“We literally had to start from scratch with no collections at all. However, what began as a local history exhibition of display boards of photographs and stories soon attracted donations of artefacts and the museum began to grow and grow. Thanks to generous community donations we have been able to develop some very interesting and important collections relevant to the history of our town. It is to the credit of our dedicated volunteers that we have now met nationally agreed standards for UK museums and that we are recognised at the same level as Wales’ larger and professionally staffed museums.
This is no small achievement for a museum, which is entirely volunteer run. I should also like to thank Emma Hartley our Museum Mentor for helping me navigate the application process and develop the necessary professional practices and procedures.”
Town Clerk Suzie Thomas commented:
“Pembroke Museum is a great example of a community project which we are proud to support and which has enabled Council to offer an important service to the town. I should like to congratulate the volunteers who have worked so hard to achieve this award.”
The Museum is closed during the winter months but will reopen on February 24th for the half-term holiday.
