The Pembrokeshire County Show is back – and following a two-year absence, this year’s event will be the first open to the public since 2019.

As a celebration of rural life in the county, the show is the perfect platform to engage with both local communities and visitors.

This year, the largest county agricultural show in Wales, will be held over two days, on August 17 and 18 – and the Pembrokeshire County Council is attending the event to highlight the work they undertake, support available and the employment opportunities they have to offer.

To ensure the Local Authority provides information on a wide range of our services, this year our Social Services team are in a stand-alone marquee, enabling people to visit a one-stop-shop of support.

We will also give visitors the opportunity to join us in the corporate marquee to engage with Cabinet Members, the Chief Executive and a whole host of interesting and innovative projects happening across the county.

Pembrokeshire County Council Chief Executive Will Bramble said: “Our teams are excited about engaging with the public and having the opportunity to demonstrate what they do – and highlight the wealth of support available along with the wide range of career opportunities we have to offer.

“This will be my first Pembrokeshire Show as Chief Executive and I am looking forward to engaging with the rural and wider communities of this fantastic county.

“The Pembrokeshire Show is the perfect platform to celebrate the amazing produce we have to offer – and to meet new and old friends. Please come and visit our marquees and discover more about the support available and the transformational projects we are doing, which will improve the lives of our communities and visitors. I look forward to meeting you at the show.”

Among those joining the team will be the Broadband project, the Haverfordwest Regeneration work and the fascinating ongoing archaeological dig exhibition with Dyfed Archaeological Trust. Visitors will also get the chance to engage with Cabinet Members who will attend across the two-day event.

In the Social Services marquee will be Foster Care, Carers Support and the recruitment team who will be able to discuss how you can start your career in social care, and join the team making a real difference to the lives of people in our communities.

Cllr Paul Miller: Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for Place, the Region and Climate Change, added: "The County Show is a well-loved and important celebration of rural life in Pembrokeshire, and we are delighted to be part of the event once again this year.

“Our staff and members will be chatting to lots of people from communities’ right across Pembrokeshire: please do drop into our stands and say hello - we're looking forward to meeting you.”

The Local Authority marquee will be next to the Food Pavilion Court – and the Social Services marquee will be at Pitch 10.
