Tenby Summer Spectaculars 2025: Fireworks, Food and Family Fun by the Harbour

Clear your diary and dig out your deckchair, because Tenby’s Summer Spectaculars are back for 2025—with two chances to get in on the action.

Taking place on Sunday 10th August and Sunday 24th August, these events are firm favourites on the Pembrokeshire calendar, blending breezy seaside charm with live music, food, and epic firework finales that lights up Tenby Harbour like nobody’s business. 

What’s Happening and When

From 3pm, the harbour starts buzzing with energy. Expect street food stalls, refreshing drinks, live entertainment, and a great mix of locals and visitors soaking up the summer vibes. It’s relaxed, it’s lively, and there’s something for everyone—whether you’re here for a stroll and a snack, or ready to settle in for a full afternoon of fun.

As the evening rolls in, things build towards the main event: a fireworks display at 10pm, right over the harbour. It’s a beautiful setting for a big old pyrotechnic send-off, and the reflections over the water only add to the magic.

The Best Spots to Watch the Fireworks

You’ve got options when it comes to finding the perfect perch for the big finale. The harbour itself is a popular pick if you want to be in the thick of it, right where the action is. Castle Hill offers a quieter viewpoint with a bit of height—ideal if you’re after panoramic snaps without a crowd in your ear. Or head to North Beach, where there’s plenty of space to stretch out and enjoy the show with sand between your toes.

Why It’s Worth Going

Aside from being a great day out, the Tenby Summer Spectacular has a big heart. Organised by the brilliant Tenby Round Table, all proceeds go to local charities and community causes. In fact, the 2024 events raised over £20,000—which is no small feat.

It’s free to attend, family-friendly, and full of that warm, fuzzy feeling you only get from a good old-fashioned community get-together. Add in the fact that there’s street food, live music and top-tier fireworks, and honestly, what’s not to love?

A Few Tips Before You Go

• Arrive early if you want a good spot—Tenby gets busy when the weather’s nice.

• Check the forecast on the day. Like most outdoor events in the UK, the firework displays are weather-dependent.

• Bring a blanket or chair, especially if you’re aiming for Castle Hill or the beach.

• Support the stalls if you can—everything you spend helps boost the fundraising total.

Whether you’re a local making the most of summer at home, or you’re down in Pembrokeshire on holiday, the Tenby Summer Spectacular is a proper feel-good day out. Good food, live entertainment, a friendly crowd, and one of the prettiest firework backdrops in the country—what more could you ask for?
