As the Port of Milford Haven and Milford Haven Round Table celebrate their 10th year of working together to deliver popular annual events at Milford Waterfront, the teams recognise the value of their partnership in supporting the local community.
In the decade since the two organisations started working together to bring the first Fireworks Extravaganza to Milford Waterfront in 2015, the relationship has gone from strength to strength, and the Port of Milford Haven continues to support the volunteer group to deliver a series of annual events popular with locals and visitors alike.
Two notable recent events include the annual Milford Haven Carnival which saw the streets lined with spectators and a colourful display of Floats, and the Big Beer Festival, where over a thousand people enjoyed local brews, street food and live music on the Waterfront.
There’s plenty more to come, though, as Milford Haven Round Table and the Port of Milford Haven look forward to hosting more major events together throughout 2025 and beyond. Next up is the annual Fireworks Extravaganza – Pembrokeshire’s biggest display – on 1st November, and more events in the pipeline throughout autumn and winter.
2025 also marks the Port of Milford Haven’s third year as Milford Haven Round Table’s Major Event Partner. This important collaboration significantly contributes towards the cost of organising events for Milford Haven Round Table, allowing more of the funds raised by volunteers to go directly towards local good causes.
As a Trust Port, the Port of Milford Haven, which owns and operates Milford Waterfront, provides significant support to a wide variety of charitable causes, and seeks to improve community and cultural offerings through funding, volunteering and other in-kind support. Working in partnership with Milford Haven Round Table supports this mission and ensures there are regular opportunities for the community to come together and for local businesses to take advantage of increased footfall in the area.
Lucy Wonnacott, Head of Communications & Marketing at Port of Milford Haven, said:
“We’ve been delighted to support Milford Haven Round Table as Major Event Partner again in 2025, to ensure another year is filled with exciting events for our community. The success of this partnership is evident when we see thousands of people enjoying themselves at Milford Waterfront, like we did at the Carnival.
“The Round Table work so hard to generate funds for worthy causes, and as a Trust Port we support and welcome a wide variety of local collaborations, to support our communities to thrive.”
Gareth Roberts, Chair of Milford Haven Round Table, said:
"Milford Haven Round Table are incredibly grateful to Port of Milford Haven for their generous support once again through this Major Event Partnership.
“Their commitment to our community aligns perfectly with our values and allows us to bring people together, create fantastic memories for the town, and raise vital funds for local good causes. We are proud to work alongside the Port of Milford Haven and look forward to continuing this partnership for the benefit of Milford Haven.”
