Hemp Hustings

Save the date! Sunday 26th April, 5:30pm – 9:30pm – HaverHub Depot

That’s right the duo you never thought would have existed! What has hemp got to do with the Welsh economy and Senedd elections?

What happens when local politics meets one of the most versatile crops on the planet? Join us for Hemp Hustings, a lively evening where we challenge our local Senedd candidates to think differently about the future of Pembrokeshire. With the Senedd elections taking place on Thursday 7th May, this is your chance to hear how they see hemp fitting into the economic and environmental future of Wales.

Right now, Pembrokeshire farmers are already growing hemp — but much of it is transported to England to be processed into sustainable building materials. Hemp can also be used for textiles, insulation, biodegradable products and much more. The potential is enormous, and on the night we’ll explore exactly how this remarkable crop could help regenerate our local economy.

You’ve heard of Net Zero. Now we’re talking Hemp Zero.

Our aim is simple: educate, entertain and spark conversation. We want to bring our community together to explore the possibilities of hemp and ask our local candidates how they plan to support this emerging industry. With the right infrastructure here in Pembrokeshire, hemp could create new opportunities for farmers, support local businesses, and position Wales as a leader in sustainable materials and green innovation.

This is about more than just a plant — it’s about jobs, sustainability, and a resilient local economy.

Entry is free, and this year 16-year-olds can vote, so if you’re curious about the future of Pembrokeshire, come along and be part of the conversation. Please register your interest via the ticket link either free ticket or suggested donation ticket. 

Could hemp be Pembrokeshire’s golden opportunity?
