Coastal Cottages at the 2022 Pembrokeshire County Show

We had a fantastic time at this brilliant event

Here at Coastal Cottages, we’ve been particularly busy in recent months what with Race for Life and a day out at Cardiff Blues Summerfest but the highlight of our adventures has to be our time spent at the Pembrokeshire County Show.

This August, the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society organised the first full-scale County Show since 2019 and to show our support for its return, we committed to sponsoring the Members & Sponsors Marquee at the event.

This event is one of the largest in the local events calendar with hundreds of stallholders taking over Haverfordwest Showground, even more visitors walking the aisles browsing gifts and tucking into delicious local produce plus resident farmers and horseriders attending with their prize animals on show. Traditionally, the County Show is known to be a three-day event but this year’s display took place across two days; Wednesday 17th and Thursday 18th of August - and we were there for both!

Choosing to support the Members & Sponsors Marquee was a no-brainer for us; not only did it show our support for this family-friendly event but it allowed us a small space to welcome along many members of our extended Coastal Cottages team. We hosted an informal Champagne Reception each day to raise a toast to the many owners, contractors and local providers we work with to bring you, our guests, the excellent personal and professional service we always strive to. 

Of course, we couldn’t resist leaving things there. If you follow us on social (Instagram, Facebook & Twitter), then you’ll know by now that we’ve invested in a giant deckchair this year. After all, who doesn’t love a giant deckchair? Naturally, we couldn’t resist bringing it along and it’s a good job we did because within moments of us setting it up on Wednesday morning, we had our first visitors to the big chair!

The deckchair is definitely a favourite amongst children!

We had an absolute ball chatting with all the visitors who passed us by and took selfies in our deckchair, plus we managed to escape the stand for a few moments to have a wander around and soak in the wonderful summer atmosphere at this event. And sample some mouth-watering local produce of course; freshly made cakes from Emburs Dessert Bar near Pembroke, hand-crafted beers from Victoria Inn Brewhouse and ice creams from Llaeth Preseli to name just a few.

It was also fantastic to see the vintage vehicles parked up with classic cars and restored working tractors on show, as well as dog agility sessions and bird of prey displays. Being an agricultural show, the Pembrokeshire County Show celebrates all things farming with a huge emphasis on local and community. Thus it’s no surprise that a favourite for many is the horse jumping and livestock displays. There was of course plenty of singing and dancing with performances from local musicians, groups and dance troupes at the Pure West Radio stage too. 

The Pembrokeshire County Show has been a staple of the local events calendar for as long as we here at Coastal Cottages have been in business, and a bit longer than that too! So it really was marvellous to have the date back in the diary once more. Looking forward to 2023 already!
