Haverfordwest is the market town of Pembrokeshire, a county located in South West Wales. According to the 2011 census, Haverfordwest has the highest number of Muslim residents in Pembrokeshire. It is a popular holiday destination for Muslim families as it is very close to the Pembrokeshire coastline.

The closest neighbouring mosques are located in Milford haven (8 miles away) and Carmarthen (31 miles away). The prayer room is used to its full capacity on Fridays, during the night prayers in Ramadan and for Eid prayers. However, it does not have the capacity to cater for women, children and other community or civic related activities.

Our search for an alternative location for a Masjid has led us to Temperance Hall. Temperance Hall is a historic building that has been largely abandoned in its recent history. It is visited often by school children, college students and local history enthusiasts. It would be very symbolic if the local Muslim community were to adopt such an iconic building as the Masjid. In doing so, we can maintain a piece of local history that would otherwise have fallen into disrepair.
