Apêl Pier Garth Bangor Appeal 2025

The Friends of Bangor Garth Pier need your help to raise £40,000 to complete essential work on the substructure of the pier to make it safe and protect it for generations to come.

Bangor Pier is one of only 3 Grade II* listed piers in the whole of the UK and is of architectural and historical significance as a Victorian gem. It has been beloved by locals and visitors alike for a walk to enjoy the Menai Strait since 1896.

Since 2017 Bangor City Council, who own the pier, has spent £2.2 million on the urgent repairs. The unseen substructure beneath the planks is the challenge, it has deteriorated since the 1980s when the last significant renovations took place. Without the work we risk further deterioration on the two sections yet to be completed.

Due to rising costs and inflation, the FBGP, in partnership with Bangor City Council are asking for your support to finish the final 2 phases of the work which will future proof the pier.

The £40,000 from our appeal will be matched with funding from Bangor City Council. It will complete the work to make the pier safe and enable it to weather future storms. The work will be completed by November this year, weather permitting.

With your support we can ensure that this incredible structure stands strong for another century for future generations to walk along, fish, paint, propose and dream over the water.

Whether you can donate £10, £100 or £1000 all of your donation will go directly towards the structural preservation of the pier. All funds will be managed by FBGP a registered charity and will solely be used for repair work. If we exceed our target, surplus funds will go towards future projects including the sandblasting and painting of the pier substructure.

Let’s protect the pier together. It is a national treasure, a community gem, and a living connection to our past.
