Beware! The ‘Dark Lord’ himself will be returning to the Pembroke Dock Heritage Centre on Bank Holiday Monday, along with other iconic Star Wars characters.

Members of the 501st UK Garrison costuming group will be there to meet visitors at the first ‘Falcon Fun Day’ held at the Centre.

Earlier this year a permanent exhibition was opened at the Heritage Centre spotlighting the building in secret of the ‘Millennium Falcon’ spaceship in a former RAF hangar over 40 years ago.

Mark Williams, who leads the Falcon project, said: “There will be various Star Wars themed activities throughout the day with film characters joining us.

“There will be lightsaber training, VR experiences and visitors can take part in themed fancy dress competition which will be judged in the afternoon by the ‘Dark Lord’!

The Centre will be open from 11 am to 4 pm with a range of activities and refreshments. The Penfro Modellers Club is supporting the event. For further information visit www.pdht.org and Facebook and Twitter links.

The Heritage Centre’s displays interpret the maritime, aviation and military heritage of the town, as well as the social and community heritage of Pembroke Dock.

The Centre’s usual opening hours are from Monday to Friday, 10 am to 4 pm.
