May is a wonderful time to visit Pembrokeshire. The days are longer, the coastlines are calling, and there’s a fresh energy in the air. Whether you're planning a bank holiday break or a peaceful midweek escape, there’s plenty happening near Lamphey Court Hotel to help you make the most of your stay. Here’s what’s going on nearby this May…

Just a short drive away in Carew Castle, you’ll find a whole month of family-friendly fun with their ongoing Spring Event series. With interactive storytelling, outdoor trails, and medieval-themed activities running throughout May, it’s a perfect stop for those visiting with kids - or anyone with a love for castles and history.

If you’re visiting later in the month, make sure to check out The Big Retreat Festival, running from the 23rd to the 26th of May in Lawrenny. This feel-good festival is a blend of wellbeing, music, adventure, and food - set in a stunning riverside location just 30 minutes from the hotel. Whether you're up for yoga in a tent, a spot of wild foraging, or relaxing to live acoustic sets with street food in hand, it’s an unforgettable weekend experience.

On the same weekend, Fishguard Folk Festival kicks off from the 23rd to the 26th of May. This one has a lovely laid-back vibe, with performances across pubs, halls and pop-up stages all over town. Expect traditional tunes, singing sessions, ceilidhs and local ciders on tap. It’s a great way to dip into the local music scene.

Into your cycling? The Tour of Pembrokeshire rolls out on Saturday 24th May, starting from St Davids. Riders from all over the UK take part in this scenic challenge, with routes ranging from shorter social rides to full endurance treks across the wild Pembrokeshire countryside. Spectators are welcome, and the atmosphere around the start and finish lines is always full of buzz.

There’s also the St Davids Cathedral Festival, which runs from the 23rd to the 28th of May. It’s a stunning classical music festival hosted inside one of Wales' most iconic buildings - definitely worth the drive if you enjoy a bit of drama and grandeur with your culture.

And if you’re more of a foodie (or a beer lover), the Big Beer Festival in Milford Waterfront on Saturday 24th May is worth popping into. You’ll find a selection of local ales, great live music, and plenty of food vendors serving up good eats by the sea.
