🍻 Exciting News at the De Valence Pavilion
We’re delighted to announce our new partnership with Tiny Rebel, one of Wales’ most recognised independent breweries. We introduced their range during the Welsh National Scooter Rally 2026, as Tenby came alive with visitors, live music, and activity across the town.
Why Tiny Rebel?
What stood out to us wasn’t just the quality of their beer, but their commitment to supporting local communities. Through their community fund and ongoing support for grassroots clubs, charities, and local projects, Tiny Rebel has made a real difference across Wales.
What This Means for The De Valence Pavilion
The De Valence Pavilion proudly operates as a Community Interest Company (CIC), meaning everything we do is centred around community benefit rather than profit.
Every pound generated through the venue is reinvested back into the Pavilion and the local area, helping us support the arts, create opportunities, and continue bringing live entertainment and events to Tenby.
A Message from Tiny Rebel
“We’re excited to be partnering with Dave and the team at The De Valence Pavilion to expand their craft beer offering. Backing independent Welsh businesses and genuine community venues is a huge part of who we are, so this partnership means a lot to us.
A big thank you to the teams at The De Valence Pavilion and Templeton Beers, Wine & Spirits for their continued support. We’ll see you at the bar.”
🍻 Newyddion Cyffroes yn y De Valence Pavilion
Rydym wrth ein bodd i gyhoeddi ein partneriaeth newydd gyda Tiny Rebel, un o fragdai annibynnol mwyaf adnabyddus Cymru. Fe wnaethom gyflwyno eu hystod yn ystod y 'Welsh National Scooter Rally 2026', wrth i Ddinbych-y-pysgod ddod yn fyw âg ymwelwyr, cerddoriaeth fyw, a gweithgareddau ledled y dref.
Pam Tiny Rebel?
Yr hyn a wnaeth sefyll allan i ni oedd nid yn unig ansawdd eu cwrw, ond hefyd eu hymrwymiad i gefnogi cymunedau lleol. Trwy eu cronfa gymunedol a’u cefnogaeth barhaus i glybiau llawr gwlad, elusennau, a phrosiectau lleol, mae Tiny Rebel wedi gwneud gwahaniaeth gwirioneddol ledled Cymru.
Beth Mae Hyn yn Ei Olygu i’r De Valence Pavilion
Mae’r De Valence Pavilion yn falch o weithredu fel Cwmni Buddiannau Cymunedol (CIC), sy’n golygu bod popeth a wnawn wedi’i ganolbwyntio ar fudd y gymuned yn hytrach nag elw.
Mae pob punt a gynhyrchir drwy’r lleoliad yn cael ei hailfuddsoddi yn ôl i’r Pafiliwn a’r ardal lleol, gan ein helpu i gefnogi’r celfyddydau, creu cyfleoedd, a pharhau i ddod â digwyddiadau ac adloniant byw i Ddinbych-y-pysgod.
Neges gan Tiny Rebel
“Rydym yn gyffroes i fod yn partneru gyda Dave a’r tîm yn y De Valence Pavilion i ehangu eu cynnig o gwrw crefft. Mae cefnogi busnesau annibynnol Cymreig a lleoliadau cymunedol go iawn yn rhan enfawr o bwy ydym ni, felly mae’r bartneriaeth hon yn golygu llawer i ni.
Diolch yn fawr i dimau The De Valence Pavilion a Templeton Beers, Wine & Spirits am eu cefnogaeth barhaus. Welwn ni chi wrth y bar.”
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.
Ar ôl cael blwyddyn llwyddiannus yn 2019, roedd 2020 yn edrych fel blwyddyn fwyaf a well i’r bobl leol ac ymwelwyr.
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.
Mae’r De Valence Pavilion yn dod atyniad lleol gwych i bawb gyda diddanwyr poblogaidd fel Welsh Wrestling a Films4Tenby.
I hwyluso ymhellach y poblogrwydd y Pavilion, roeddwn ni wedi penderfynu cyflwyno cais cyntaf am grant i helpu gwella y dechnoleg sain a goleuo. Dechreuon ni gyda’r prosiect yn 2016 a cyn hynny rydyn ni wedi rhoi £50,000 o elw nol i help wella y dechnoleg yn yr adeilad.
Nawr, gyda help wrth y Pembrokeshire County Council Enhancing Pembrokeshire Grant mae’r De Valence Pavilion yn falch o ddweud rydyn ni wedi cael technoleg anhygoel, ac mae llawer o waith wedi dechrau i wella popeth!
