Following a successful calendar of events in 2019, 2020 was set to be even bigger and better for both locals and visitors.
​
The year got off to a fantastic start, with performances by Judge Jules and Bad Manners at the De Valence Pavilion before the end of February. Next on the agenda was Robert Plant’s sold-out show, 'Saving Grace'. The Pavilion had also planned, with the support of Templeton Beer, Wine & Spirit, and Upton Farm Frozen Foods, a free evening of entertainment to thank local emergency services, NHS staff, and volunteers for their dedication to keeping the community safe. Little did we know how essential their services would soon become!
​
Regrettably, we were unable to host this event as the first Covid-19 restrictions came into force, placing unprecedented demand on these vital services. Once conditions permit and things return to normal, we are committed to rescheduling this event to show our appreciation for the tireless work of those who protect our community.
​
Around the same time, we were delighted to learn that our application for the Pembrokeshire County Council’s Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant was successful, helping us advance our ongoing efforts to improve the Pavilion’s facilities.
​
Over the years, we have continuously worked to update and enhance all aspects of the De Valence Pavilion, ensuring it serves as a first-class venue for both locals and visitors in Tenby.
​
All profits have been reinvested into the building, with countless hours of hard work dedicated to improving the quality and reducing the carbon footprint of the venue.
​
The Pavilion has become increasingly popular, attracting renowned acts like Craig Charles, Martin Kemp, and The Shires. It has also become a key attraction for the local community, hosting popular events such as Welsh Wrestling and Films4Tenby.
​
To meet the growing demand for the Pavilion’s use, we decided to apply for our first grant to complete a long-overdue upgrade of the audio and theatre lighting systems. Having started this project in 2016, we had already invested over £50,000 of self-generated funds into repairing the deteriorating systems but were unable to finish due to the need to update other areas of the building.
​
Now, with the support of the Pembrokeshire County Council’s Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant, and despite a year’s delay due to Covid-19, we are thrilled to announce that the De Valence Pavilion is now a fully up-to-date, state-of-the-art facility.

Cafodd 2020 dechrau wych gyda diddanwyr fel ‘Judge Jules’ a ‘Bad Manners’ pwy oedd wedi perfformio cyn y diwedd o Chwefror. Nesaf i ddod roedd ‘Robert Plants’ yn ei sioe ‘Saving Grace’ ac roedd y De Valence wedi trefnu (gyda help wrth Templeton Beer wine & Spirit and Upton Farm Frozen Foods) noson ddi-draul o ddyfrwch i’r holl bobl leol sydd yn gweithio mewn Gwasanaethau Brys a Staff/gwirfoddolwyr yr NHS i ddweud diolch am holl o’r ei’r gwaith caled i gadw y gymuned yn ddiogel. Fodd bynnag, nid oeddwn yn gwybod bod gwaeth nhw yn mynd i ddod yn fwyaf pwysig na erioed!
Yn anffodus, nid oeddem ni gallu cael noson hwyl i’r gwasanaethau brys na’r NHS achos roedd y gwasanaethau a’r NHS yn ddechrau’n gweithio caled ar ôl i’r pandemig Covid-19 wedi dechrau. Pan mae’n ddiogel, byddwn yn cael y noson i’r gwasanaethau pwysig i ddweud diolch am gadw ein cymuned ddiogel.
Yn ystod yr un amser i glywed bod ein cais i Pembrokeshire County Council Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant wedi bod yn lwyddiannus! Bydd y grant yn helpu ni gwella cyfleusterau yn y Pavilion.
Dros y flynedd, rydyn ni wedi sicrhau moderneiddio a gwella pob rhannau o’r De Valence i gwneud yn siŵr bod ni’n gallu cynorthwyo pawb ac yn rhoi ansawdd uchaf yn y lleoliad yn Ninbych-y-pysgod.
Bydd yr elwau i gyd yn mynd nôl i’r busnes a’r oriau dirifedi o waith caled sydd wedi gwneud yr adeilad yn well ac i wella holion-traed carbon y busnes.
Mae’r Pavilion yn dod mwyaf poblogaidd na erioed achos rydyn ni wedi cael diddanwyr fel Craig Charles, Martin Kemp a’r Shires.
