About Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre
Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre is an all-weather family- and dog-friendly attraction in the heart of Pembrokeshire. We celebrate the rich maritime, military and cultural heritage of Wales’ only Royal Dockyard.
Get a pilot’s eye view from the cockpit of an iconic Sunderland “flying boat” – like the ones that flew in the World War II Battle of the Atlantic. RAF Pembroke Dock was the world’s largest military flying boat station in wartime, with up to 100 of these extraordinary planes afloat in the Cleddau estuary.
Learn about famous ships built here through the ages, from the ill-fated Arctic explorer HMS Erebus, through five royal yachts, to Hollywood’s iconic Millennium Falcon.
Star Wars fans will love our scale model of the famous starship and appreciate the size of the original construction, from our 1:1 scale wooden model of just one of the 16 segments that created the film prop from the Oscar-winning film The Empire Strikes Back. Discover how US moviemakers had the original constructed in secret by local engineers in the town’s famous dockyard. Our permanent installation includes photographs, models and unique film sequences never seen before in public.
Check our website for news of our annual May bank holiday “Falcon Fun Day” when visitors can come face to face with stormtroopers and Wookiees … but watch out for Darth Vader!
