Falcon 2026 - join in the Star Wars fun at the Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre!
This Spring bank holiday Monday join us at Falcon 2026 at the Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre! On Monday 25th May Star Wars fans young and old will be able to learn how to wield a light saber, mingle with Storm Troopers and even grab a selfie with Darth Vader! There will be a tasty barbecue and refreshments for sale, as well as genuine Star Wars merchandise and models, and our ever-popular face-painting.
Did you know that the last ship to be built in Pembroke Dock town's dockyards was the Millennium Falcon?
Yes, it’s true! The original iconic Star Wars starship was built in the town in 1979 for the Oscar-winning film The Empire Strikes Back.
Every year now we celebrate our Star Wars connections with a Falcon Fun Day, held on the Spring bank holiday at the Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre.
We welcome Star Wars costumers and model-makers. Fans can walk among stormtroopers, marvel at the escapades of R2D2, shake hands with a Wookiee, grab a selfie with Darth Vader, and learn how to wield a light saber! There will be face-painting for children and a tasty barbecue.
Come inside the museum to see our permanent exhibition that tells the story of how our small town in Wales became the birthplace of a Hollywood legend - and why the starship's construction became the worst-kept secret in town!
Our display includes photographs – many not seen in public before – as well as unique film of the construction, and a detailed sectioned model of the stages of construction of the original. Find out more about our Star Wars connections on our Millennium Falcon page.
