September is a fantastic time to explore Pembrokeshire, West Wales, with some of the county’s biggest sporting events, food festivals and cultural celebrations taking place throughout the month. From the world-famous IRONMAN Wales in Tenby to food festivals in Narberth and Saundersfoot, a celebration of the sea in St Davids and a very special Hollywood anniversary in Fishguard, there’s plenty happening across Pembrokeshire in September 2026.
For owners of a holiday home at Matthew Baker Caravans in Newgale, Newport or Dinas Cross, these events are another great reason to make the most of your caravan throughout September. With Newgale’s location on the beautiful Pembrokeshire coast, you can head out to experience some of the county’s biggest events before returning to your own holiday home by the sea.
Harbour Feastival, Saundersfoot – 4th to 6th September 2026
September gets off to a delicious start with Harbour Feastival in Saundersfoot, taking place from 4th to 6th September 2026. Street Food Circus will transform Saundersfoot Harbour for a weekend combining street food, live entertainment, music and seaside atmosphere. Visitors can expect a variety of global street food traders alongside DJs and spectacular pirate-themed circus performances around the harbour. It is a great excuse to explore Saundersfoot and South Pembrokeshire, whether you are visiting with friends, planning a family day out or simply looking for somewhere different to eat.
Wales Festival of Seaweed, St Davids – 10th to 13th September 2026
Much closer to our caravan sites at Newgale, Newport and Dinas Cross is the Wales Festival of Seaweed, taking place in St Davids from 10th to 13th September. The festival celebrates the fascinating world of seaweed and its growing importance to Wales. The programme explores everything from seaweed as food and fertiliser to sustainable materials, coastal ecosystems and its environmental benefits, with talks, workshops and interactive experiences taking place throughout the event. For anyone staying at their holiday home in Newgale, this is an excellent opportunity to spend a day in Britain’s smallest city while discovering more about the incredible marine environment found along the Pembrokeshire Coast. You could also combine your visit with a trip to St Davids Cathedral, a walk along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path or an afternoon exploring the shops, cafés and galleries around St Davids.
IRONMAN Wales, Tenby – 13th September 2026
One of the biggest dates on the Pembrokeshire events calendar returns on Sunday 13th September, when IRONMAN Wales 2026 takes over Tenby and the surrounding area. Athletes face an extraordinary challenge beginning with a 3.8km sea swim, followed by a 180km cycle through the Pembrokeshire countryside and finishing with a 42.2km marathon. The event is about much more than the competitors. Thousands of spectators create an incredible atmosphere around Tenby, particularly as athletes make their way towards the famous finish on the Esplanade. The weekend also includes IRONKIDS, athlete activities and the official event expo. Whether you’re following someone taking part or simply want to experience one of the biggest sporting events in Wales, IRONMAN weekend is a memorable time to visit Pembrokeshire.
On Land’s Edge and the 70th Anniversary of Moby Dick in Fishguard – 25th to 27th September 2026
Film fans and history lovers have a particularly special reason to visit Fishguard this September. The On Land’s Edge, or Ar Ymyl y Tir, Festival returns from 25th to 27th September 2026, and this year’s event celebrates the 70th anniversary of the filming of Moby Dick in Fishguard. The classic 1956 movie starring Gregory Peck was largely filmed around Fishguard Bay, bringing a touch of Hollywood to North Pembrokeshire. Seven decades later, the festival is celebrating that fascinating chapter of local history. Plans include a huge Moby Dick lantern parade, theatre, live music, a sea swim at the Parrog, literature events and a special screening of the original 1956 film at Theatr Gwaun. For holiday home owners at Matthew Baker Caravans in Newgale, this is particularly worth putting in the diary. Fishguard is only a stone’s throw from Newgale, making the festival a great opportunity to discover more of this beautiful part of the county and its unique history.
Narberth Food Festival – 26th and 27th September 2026
Food lovers can finish September with one of the best-known food festivals in Pembrokeshire. Narberth Food Festival returns to the Town Moor on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September 2026, celebrating some of the very best Welsh food and drink. Now in its 26th year, the festival promises two days of food and entertainment, with food stalls, guest chefs, live music, workshops, children’s activities and plenty more to discover. Narberth itself is also well worth exploring. The popular Pembrokeshire market town is known for its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and welcoming atmosphere, so you can easily turn your trip to the food festival into a full day out.
