Want Summer to Last Forever? Book a September Holiday in Pembrokeshire
Enjoy a post-summer getaway
Extend your summer holiday with a post-summer break and enjoy dry sunny days by the coast. September days in Pembrokeshire are all about wildlife, food and festivals - what more could you want?
September adventures can be what you make them; slower-paced and leisurely if relaxation is your thing or action-packed if you’re not ready to say goodbye to those long summer days. This may be the month that the children return to school routines and the colours of the landscape begin to change, but there’s still plenty of time to fit in a seaside escape before the darker nights and colder days emerge.

Don’t be fooled into thinking that this month is “the next best thing” if you can’t make it away for a summer holiday; there’s plenty to get involved with in September. In fact, the event calendar this month is so good that you might struggle to choose just one week to stay.
One of our all-time favourite events of the year, the Narberth Food Festival, takes place in the ninth month of the year and believe us, it’s one that’s not-to-be-missed. Expect a weekend-long celebration of all things foodie. To put it quite simply, this is a foodie’s paradise! Think chef demonstrations, cookery workshops, produce stalls and more. It’s been running for more than 20+ years and it’s developed quite the following.
Sportsmen and women flock to the south Pembrokeshire coastline in their droves for Ironman Weekend early in the month. Two and a half thousand athletes take part in the all-day triathlon plus there’s a kids event to get the little ones involved. Saundersfoot Triathlon runs the same weekend and is the perfect pairing for athletes who aren’t yet at Ironman level.

Tenby Arts Festival takes over one of Wales’ most iconic resorts with live music and entertainment. Venues spread across the cobbled town get involved with pubs and restaurants hosting musicians for an hour or two in a jam-packed schedule of performances. Music lovers will struggle to find a more attractive festival location than this one.
Alongside the busy calendar, there are plenty of other things to see and do still. Wildlife is still strong at this time of the year with the Atlantic grey seal pupping season; find fluffy newborns scattered across the western inlets and coves but be sure to keep your distance and view from afar.
It’s the last month of the season to enjoy a boat trip to Ramsey, Skomer and Caldey plus it’s the last time many will make it into the sea for swimming and surfing before the following spring - unless you’re a particularly brave soul that is.
