Treat Dad Like Royalty This Father’s Day at Pembroke Castle’s Gentlemen’s Afternoon Tea
Forget the socks and novelty mugs this Father’s Day (though we do have an amazing selection of gifts in our shop!) — Pembroke Castle is offering something far more memorable.
This year, families are invited to celebrate in truly regal surroundings with a special Gentlemen’s Afternoon Tea experience inside one of Wales’ most iconic medieval castles.
Combining delicious food, historic atmosphere and spectacular views, this unique Father’s Day event promises the perfect way to spoil dads, grandads and father figures with an afternoon fit for a king.
A Father’s Day Experience with a Difference
Set within the magnificent grounds of Pembroke Castle, the Gentlemen’s Afternoon Tea puts a modern twist on the traditional afternoon tea experience.
Instead of delicate finger sandwiches and pastries alone, guests can expect a more hearty, savoury-inspired menu designed especially with dads in mind — all served in the unforgettable setting of a 900-year-old Norman fortress.
Whether your dad is a history enthusiast, foodie, castle lover or simply enjoys trying something different, this event offers a relaxed and memorable way to spend quality time together.
The Perfect Setting for a Special Occasion
Pembroke Castle is one of Wales’ most impressive historic landmarks.
Founded in 1093, the castle is famous as the birthplace of Henry VII and remains one of the best-preserved medieval castles in Britain. Its towering stone walls, riverside location and spectacular Great Keep make it one of Pembrokeshire’s must-visit attractions.
For Father’s Day, the historic surroundings add something truly special to the occasion. Guests can soak up centuries of history while enjoying a leisurely afternoon meal in an atmosphere that feels both elegant and relaxed.
What Guests Can Expect
We will be serving a selection of sandwiches and homemade savoury pastries, small cakes and warm scones with jam and clotted cream. We will also be selling local ales, lagers and ciders.
You can explore the castle grounds before or after dining and entry to the Castle is included in your ticket price.
It’s a chance to slow down, celebrate together and create lasting memories in one of Wales’ most beautiful heritage locations.
Make a Full Day of It
One of the best things about visiting Pembroke Castle is that there’s so much more to explore beyond the event itself.
Families can spend the day discovering:
- The towering Great Keep
- Medieval battlements and towers
- Wogan Cavern beneath the castle
- Scenic riverside walks
- Interactive exhibits and historical displays
The castle regularly hosts family-friendly activities and events throughout the year, making it one of Pembrokeshire’s most vibrant visitor attractions.
