Any excuse really, especially if there’s food involved.

Our favourite foodie events include Narberth Food Festival at the end of September, Big Retreat Wales in Lawrenny and  Pembrokeshire Street Food festival in Tenby

But there are plenty more. There’s the Llangwm Literary Festival with a fascinating programme of writers, poets and storytellers. Music is a big part of Pembrokeshire and we have festivals featuring everything from blues to Bach hosted in a Cathedral, local theatres, villages halls, pubs and cafes.

When it comes to sporting events Long Course Weekend challenges participants to swim, bike and run over three days leading up to Ironman Wales, the ultimate in triathlons. There are smaller triathlons in Fishguard and Saundersfoot plus Coast Path runs, long-distance swims, bike rides and park runs.
