A new App to be launched at Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre

A new App to be launched at Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre on Saturday (4th March) highlights the many cultural, historical and commercial connections between both sides of the Irish Sea.

Entitled ‘Port Places’, it is part of the exciting ‘Ports Past and Present’ project which links the seaports of Pembroke Dock, Fishguard, Rosslare and Dublin. Guests from Ireland will travel over – by ferry – for the launch which takes place 2pm.

The App explores the wide and varied history of Pembroke Dock through walking tours, multimedia collections and stories. Port Places provides a range of themed experiences covering the four seaports, their local attractions and the crossings between them. The App allows the user to download their choice of experiences, each providing a vision of port life, crossings, creativity, history and heritage.

The Heritage Centre, in the former Royal Dockyard Chapel, will be staging ‘Open House’ between 1 pm and 4 pm on Saturday, with free admission.

For the new season at the Centre significant changes have been made to displays and exhibits, including a new children’s play area.

On weekdays the Centre is open 10 am to 4 pm. www.pdst.org
