Apêl Pier Garth Bangor Appeal 2025: Your Pier Needs You!
The Friends of Bangor Garth Pier need your help to raise £40,000 to complete the essential work on the substructure of the pier to make it safe and protect it for generations to come.

Appeal Raises £4000 on Launch Day!
The Friends of Bangor Garth Pier Appeal raised just over £4000 (10% of our target of £40,000) on our Launch Day on August 4th.

"One important way in which you can be a part of this, is by supporting our new appeal, so that we can ensure that our pier continues to shine for generations to come." DONATE...
