The redevelopment of the historic and prominent South Quay site, adjacent to Pembroke Castle, is being delivered in two planned phases. Together, these developments will create a diverse and sustainable mix of new uses for the town.

The first phase will celebrate Pembroke’s rich heritage as the birthplace of the Tudor dynasty, delivering a new Henry Tudor Visitor Centre, a library and information centre, a café, and landscaped gardens.

The second phase, known as The Pembroke Hwb, will complete the regeneration of South Quay, focusing on the restoration of 7 and 8 Northgate Street. This integrated community hub, spread across three storeys, will provide space for day opportunities, learning, and skills development to support independent living for people of all ages, alongside offering supported employment opportunities for people with disabilities.

Environmental improvements include the restoration of historic buildings, the creation of a new sunken garden, enhancements to the South Quay parking area, and improved access between the Henry Tudor Visitor Centre and the waterfront.
