September is a brilliant month for a Pembrokeshire getaway. The summer crowds begin to ease, but the county’s events calendar certainly doesn’t slow down. Across September 2026, visitors can experience major sporting events, fantastic Welsh food and drink, coastal celebrations and fascinating local history. Whether you’re heading to Tenby for IRONMAN Wales, spending a foodie weekend in Narberth, exploring St Davids or discovering the history of Fishguard, there are plenty of reasons to plan a September break in West Wales.
With NetLet UK holiday lets across Pembrokeshire, you can find a comfortable base for exploring the county and enjoying everything happening this September. Rather than travelling home after a busy day, why not make a holiday of it and stay nearby?
From 10th to 13th September, attention turns towards Britain’s smallest city for the Wales Festival of Seaweed in St Davids. The festival explores the fascinating role seaweed can play in our food, environment and future. Visitors can discover more about its use as food and fertiliser, sustainable materials, coastal ecosystems and its wider environmental benefits through a programme of talks, workshops and interactive experiences.
It is also the perfect opportunity to explore St Davids itself. Visit the magnificent St Davids Cathedral, wander around the independent shops, galleries and cafés or even head towards the coast. With NetLet holiday accommodation available across Pembrokeshire, you can use your holiday let as a base for exploring St Davids, Solva and the surrounding coastline, giving you plenty of time to experience both the festival and everything else this beautiful corner of West Wales has to offer.
Few events transform Pembrokeshire quite like IRONMAN Wales, which returns to Tenby on Sunday 13th September 2026. Competitors face one of the biggest endurance challenges in sport, beginning with a 3.8km sea swim before tackling a 180km cycle through the Pembrokeshire countryside and finishing with a full 42.2km marathon. IRONMAN Wales is an incredible event to experience. Tenby comes alive as thousands of people line the streets to support the athletes, creating an unforgettable atmosphere throughout the town. The wider weekend also features IRONKIDS, athlete activities and the official event expo, making it one of the busiest and most exciting weekends of the year in South Pembrokeshire.
If you’re travelling to Pembrokeshire for IRONMAN Wales 2026, booking a nearby holiday let can make the weekend much easier. NetLet offers a range of self-catering holiday accommodation in Pembrokeshire, providing a convenient base for spectators, families and groups looking to experience the event while enjoying a longer stay on the coast.
North Pembrokeshire has its own special celebration taking place towards the end of the month. On Land’s Edge, or Ar Ymyl y Tir, returns to Fishguard from 25th to 27th September 2026, with this year’s festival marking the 70th anniversary of the filming of Moby Dick in Fishguard. The classic 1956 movie starring Gregory Peck was largely filmed around Fishguard Bay, placing this corner of Pembrokeshire on the Hollywood map. Seventy years later, visitors can discover more about this fascinating part of the town’s history.
Events planned for the weekend include a large Moby Dick lantern parade, theatre, live music, a sea swim at the Parrog, literature events and a special screening of the original film at Theatr Gwaun. A stay in North Pembrokeshire gives you plenty more to discover while you’re here. Fishguard, Goodwick, Newport and the surrounding coastline offer beautiful scenery, beaches, walking routes and picturesque communities that are well worth exploring. Book a NetLet holiday let in Pembrokeshire and you can make the festival part of a longer break discovering the north of the county.
If good food is an essential part of your holiday, make room in your diary for Narberth Food Festival on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September 2026. Returning to the Town Moor, the popular festival celebrates Welsh food and drink with a packed weekend of food stalls, guest chefs, live entertainment, workshops and activities for children.
Narberth is worth visiting even without the festival. The colourful Pembrokeshire market town has developed a fantastic reputation for its independent shops, cafés, restaurants and welcoming atmosphere. Staying in self-catering accommodation in Pembrokeshire means you can spend as much time as you like enjoying the festival without having to squeeze everything into a single day trip. You could even use Narberth as the starting point for exploring more of Pembrokeshire during your stay.
With so much happening across the county, September is the perfect opportunity to enjoy a Pembrokeshire holiday or short break.
You could cheer on the athletes at IRONMAN Wales in Tenby, sample fantastic food at Narberth Food Festival, learn about our coastline at the Wales Festival of Seaweed, or step back into Pembrokeshire’s Hollywood history in Fishguard. Whichever event brings you to West Wales, there is much more waiting to be discovered while you’re here. Pembrokeshire is home to spectacular beaches, the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, picturesque harbour towns, historic attractions and some of the most impressive coastal scenery in Wales.
