Unique Venue
The Royal Dockyard Chapel was built in the 1830s, and completed in 1835. Over the years it has served many purposes, and is now a Grade II* listed building and houses the collections of the Sunderland Trust as Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre. The displays tell the story of Pembroke Dockyard, the military presence in the area and of the flying boats once stationed here, and of Short Sunderland T9044 which sank in a storm in 1940. Access to the displays will be included as part of any venue hire package.

This usage can include the erection of temporary tents or marquees with permission, but we are not able to supply these. If you wish to use the grounds out of hours (e.g. evenings, on a Sunday or during a seasonal closure), a fee for unlocking will be charged.
Exclusive use
Whether as a backdrop for filming or photography, or for your own private event, please get in touch if you would like to discuss using the grounds and buildings exclusively. As with all our venue bookings, this can only be offered on an availability basis, and closure to the general public is possible with the agreement of senior staff and trustees.
