HAVERFORDWEST Castle is being transformed into a high-quality visitor attraction for local people, schools and visitors to the county.

The mediaeval castle itself has been conserved for future generations, and the Inner Bailey has been landscaped to enable it to hold up to 500 capacity events such as concerts, plays etc, together with other types of events such as craft fairs and Christmas markets. The rest of the castle grounds will be improved, with interpretation on the history of the Castle and associated family activities.

The building housing the Haverfordwest Museum (Governors House) will be conserved and the museum exhibition inside will be completely refurbished and modernised.

The gaol building will be transformed into a visitor attraction telling the story of Pembrokeshire's past and potential future in a highly interactive and engaging family friendly way. The attraction will include a café and shop, together with community spaces, in addition to the exhibition itself.

The physical route between the castle and town centre (Castle back) is also receiving plenty of attention to make it a much more attractive journey, supplemented by improved signage to help people get to the Castle and to find their way around the town.

Councillor Thomas Tudor said: “As County Councillor for the Castle Ward in Haverfordwest, it was lovely to have a site visit to Haverfordwest Castle Redevelopment Project to see what progress has been achieved. I am very much looking forward to when the Castle reopens in 2028.”
