Shortlis-
ted for the prestigious Museum of the Year prize in 2013, this small, local museum packs
a punch way above its weight. Rescued by keen volunteers and now in a new home in
some wonderfully atmospheric restored bonded stores, it celebrates the rich history of
Narberth and the surrounding area. You can learn about medieval siege warfare and
Narberth Castle through models and interactive games, walk historic streets and visit the
shops, or listen to Welsh folk stories in the storytelling chair. There are lots of hands-on
activities and dressing up for children, as well as a well-stocked museum shop with inter-
esting local crafts.
