A unique venue for events and celebrations
The Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre offers a unique venue for businesses, community groups and individuals to hold meetings, events and celebrations.
The Centre is situated in the Royal Dockyard Chapel, at the heart of the Historic Royal Dockyard. The Chapel was built in the 1830s, and completed in 1835. Over the years it has served many purposes. It 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
All of our indoor spaces are comfortable, well-lit and centrally heated, and include free Wi-Fi. We can also offer equipment such as projectors and screens, included in our price.

Car park and grounds
Whilst the use of the grounds, including the car park, is generally free of charge for all visitors to the Heritage Centre, the trust is always happy to accept a donation – particularly if the facilities inside the centre are used. 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 opening 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 may be possible with the agreement of senior staff and trustees.
