Milford Waterfront has added to its Christmas festive décor this year with brand new festoon lights, and an extra special Christmas tree display above the Milford Marina office entrance. Berth holders are also lighting up the area with the boat dressing competition at Milford Marina, which has become an annual tradition.

Visit Milford Haven are organising this year’s Milford Haven business window dressing competition and are encouraging businesses from all corners of the town to get involved. Businesses at Milford Waterfront have put a lot of effort into this year’s window displays, meaning the Waterfront will be shining bright throughout December.

There will also be a Milford Waterfront balcony dressing competition this year, with residents taking part by decorating their balconies with festive lights. A prize for the winner has been donated by Milford Waterfront.

Councillor Terry Davies, Mayor of Milford Haven, is guest judge for the Milford Marina annual boat dressing competition, the Milford Haven Christmas business window dressing competition, and the Milford Waterfront Christmas balcony dressing competition. All winners will be chosen and announced on the 18th December.

Lucy Wonnacott, Marketing Manager at the Port of Milford Haven commented: ‘We’re so lucky in Milford Haven. The community’s Christmas spirit is strong, and there is so much going on to light up our town and bring smiles to everyone’s faces. I can’t wait to be able to go for a walk and admire all the festive decorations. If you are out and about admiring the lights too, don’t forget to use the hashtag #visitmilfordhaven’

Notes to Editors

Milford Waterfront

Milford Waterfront is a multi-million pound regeneration project being led by the Port of Milford Haven. It aims to revitalise the marina and docks into a vibrant destination, adding to the existing mix of leisure, retail and dining businesses and boosting the economy by providing long term, sustainable jobs.

A number of flagship projects have already been completed at the site including the opening of four custom-built Floatel Cabins, which offer a restful retreat for visitors looking for a unique glamping experience.

The new development will also celebrate the arts, culture and heritage of the area, working in partnership with key stakeholders. The Port already hosts a busy calendar of events at Milford Waterfront such as its popular Summer Fest campaign that included the Fish Festival, Beer Festival and Street Food Festival in 2019.. Children’s activities and seasonal events such as fireworks displays and Santa visits also take place throughout the year, more information can be found on the What’s On page.

In June 2018, Pembrokeshire County Council unanimously approved a revision to the Milford Waterfront development’s outline planning consent.
