2026 Croeso AWARDS

Recognising and celebrating our tourism champions

What a wonderful night for Pembrokeshire! Our tourism and hospitality community came together on Thursday 29 October at Pembrokeshire College to celebrate the winners of the 2026 Croeso Awards.

Visit Pembrokeshire’s Croeso Awards champion the very best of the county’s tourism sector, recognising quality, innovation and customer service, and the people whose dedication makes every visit special.

From welcoming places to stay and outstanding food and drink to unforgettable experiences, this year’s winners demonstrated the wonderful range and diversity of tourism across Pembrokeshire. Congratulations to all our winners and finalists. Your hard work, passion and commitment deserve to be celebrated, and we were delighted to share this special occasion with you.

A partnership to be proud of

Hosting the awards at Pembrokeshire College once again provided a wonderful opportunity for students, the next generation of industry professionals, to play a leading role in this prestigious event.

Building on the success of our partnership with Seren for the 2024 awards, the baton passed to The Celtic Collection. Through an extensive mentoring programme, its hospitality professionals worked alongside college students to prepare for and deliver a collaborative gourmet experience.

From sourcing local produce and developing the menu to preparing and serving an exquisite three-course dinner, students brought their skills, enthusiasm and creativity to the evening.

With a whole year in the planning, the event team transformed Pembrokeshire College into an elegant setting for our black-tie celebration. We are immensely proud of everyone involved. Their achievements demonstrated just how much promise there is in the next generation of tourism and hospitality talent.

Our 2026 winners

Congratulations to all our winners and finalists.

Thank you to our sponsors and partners

Our warmest thanks to headline sponsor Pure West Radio, venue partner Pembrokeshire College, mentoring partner The Celtic Collection, and all our award sponsors and supporters for helping make the 2026 Croeso Awards such a special occasion.

It was a night to recognise excellence, celebrate our tourism community and look ahead with pride to its future.

Llongyfarchiadau to all our winners!

Please pass my compliments on to your team for an extremely successful Croeso Awards evening. I thought it was a great success (and also made some useful contacts). Unfortunately, I couldn’t stay for the party afterwards as we had to be back at a reasonable hour but it looked set to be a fantastic night.

The whole team at the Really Wild Emporium were very thrilled by our two successes at the Croeso Awards a few days ago and we are all so pleased to be recognised and appreciated. However, our main reason to be writing is to thank you all at Visit Pembrokeshire for such a splendid evening – we understand how much work goes into organising such a huge event. It went so smoothly: perfect reception in the dining hall, great guest speaker, only winners going onto the stage, terrific lighting, efficient service from the college, lovely food, great friendly atmosphere (and we loved the ‘smoky’ entrance!). Congratulations to you all on such an exceptional evening.

Julia & John, The Really Wild Emporium
