DJ workshops, break dancing, street art activities and a skate park will all be on offer to teenagers at Milford Waterfront this summer when ‘Under the Bridge’ returns.
The project takes place underneath Hakin Bridge every Friday evening for six weeks starting on 27th July and will feature different acts at each session. This is the third time the Port of Milford Haven has co-ordinated Under the Bridge and will once again be supported by Milford Youth Matters and Arts & Business Cymru.
In 2017 the project won an Arts & Business Cymru Award in recognition of its contribution to reducing anti-social behaviour, promoting a sense of pride in the area and providing opportunities for young people to try new activities.
Anna Malloy, Stakeholder Engagement and Communications Manager, said “We’re looking forward to running Under the Bridge again throughout the summer. It creates a great buzz at Milford Waterfront and gives young people the opportunity to take part in lots of fun activities in a safe environment. Among the acts that will be involved are Ramps skate park, local DJ Toby Ellis, the VC Gallery, Arts Care Gofal Celf and Lloyd the Graffiti.”
The final event on Friday 31st August will be a celebration of what the participants have learnt over the school holidays.

Notes to Editors
Port of Milford Haven
The Port of Milford Haven is the UK’s top energy port and Wales’ busiest port handling around 20% of Britain’s seaborne trade in oil and gas. It is widely recognised in the industry as the energy capital of the UK.
The Port, along with the cluster of energy-related businesses along the Waterway, is a key driver of economic activity in Pembrokeshire, attracting inward investment and supporting over 4,000 jobs.
The Port of Milford Haven also owns and operates Pembroke Port and Milford Dock. Activities such as cargo handling, ferry operations, fish landing and cruise calls as well as a first class marina are spread across these two sites.
One of the most prominent on the West Coast, the Port is in the heart of the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park, the only Coastal National Park in Great Britain. It is marked as a Special Area of Conservation (SAC) and has many areas designated as Sites of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI).
The Port of Milford Haven is a trust port – an independent, commercially run organisation that has statutory responsibilities governed by its Acts, to maintain and improve navigation and the provision of Port and Harbour services and facilities. Additionally, the Port provides significant financial and in-kind support to a wide variety of local causes. All profits are retained within the business to fund these objectives.
