ST Davids has not made the shortlist for the City of Culture 2021 bid.
It was announced yesterday that the five cities in with a final chance include Wales' Swansea.
Coventry, Paisley, Sunderland, Swansea and Stoke-on-Trent will compete to host a year-long celebration of art and performance as UK City of Culture 2021.
In a statement, a spokesman for the St Davids bid said the team were "disappointed" but congratulated the other cities, particularly Swansea.
"However, we are determined that the partnerships created as part of the stage 1 process and the many ideas generated with our community and other stakeholders will not be lost.
"St Davids is a very special place and we will continue to seek opportunities to showcase St Davids and Pembrokeshire to the world."
The five left in the race will hope to emulate the success of Hull, which is UK City of Culture this year.
The title is awarded every four years and the winner for 2021 will be the third UK City of Culture.
