DJ workshops, skating, graffiti art and film making are just some of the free weekly activities that will be on offer this summer at Milford Waterfront. The award-winning Under The Bridge project is back on Friday nights for six weeks, starting tonight (26th July).
This will be the fourth year the Port of Milford Haven has run the project in collaboration with Milford Youth Matters, with the aim of tackling anti-social behaviour by providing engaging activities for 11-17 year olds in a safe environment.
Between 6.30-8.30pm the following events will take place under Hakin Bridge:
- Friday 26th July- RAMPS Skatepark, big banner art and circus equipment, DJ-ing by Toby Ellis
- Friday 2nd August- Total Wipeout inflatable game, Lloyd the graffiti artist, stone art from Sculpt the World, circus equipment, DJ-ing by Toby Ellis

- Friday 30th August- RAMPS Skatepark, Lloyd the graffiti artist, Andy Davies photography workshop, DJ-ing by Toby Ellis
All of the final artwork will be on display at the Waterfront Gallery from 2nd-13th September.
This year Under The Bridge has received support from the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Community Fund which backs projects that have a positive impact on the safety of local communities. The Port and Milford Youth Matters work closely with local PCSOs to engage positively with young people in order to equip them with new skills and the self-confidence they may need to help them achieve their goals.
Anna Malloy, Stakeholder Engagement and Communications Manager, is looking forward to the project starting: “Under The Bridge is back due to popular demand and we have some brand new activities on offer this summer. It’s a great way to keep the kids entertained on a Friday night in a safe environment.”

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.

Mae Dan y Bont eleni wedi derbyn cymorth gan Gronfa Gymunedol y Comisiynydd Heddlu a Throseddu sy’n cefnogi prosiectau sy’n cael effaith gadarnhaol ar ddiogelwch cymunedau lleol. Mae’r Porthladd a Milford Youth Matters yn cydweithio â Swyddogion Cymorth Cymunedol yr Heddlu’n lleol i ymwneud yn gadarnhaol â phobl ifanc er mwyn darparu’r sgiliau newydd a’r hunanhyder a allai fod yn angenrheidiol i’w helpu i gyflawni eu nodau.
Mae Anna Malloy, Rheolwr Ymgysylltu a Chyfathrebu â Rhanddeiliaid, yn edrych ymlaen at y prosiect: “Mae Dan y Bont yn dychwelyd gan ei fod mor boblogaidd ac mae gennym weithgareddau newydd sbon yr haf hwn. Mae’n ffordd wych o ddifyrru plant a phobl ifanc ar nos Wener mewn amgylchedd diogel.”
