Christmas Events in St.Fagans National History Museum

Anyone who comes to Wales for a small break should defiantly go and visit St.Fagans any time of the year! But St.Fagans has a much different atmosphere Christmas time. The wind and rain usually hits us hard around December so I would advise to dress warmly and take a waterproof coat just in case. Many events take place at St.Fagans to get people into the Christmas Spirit, plus all the other usual activities are available

Visiting Santa
Family’s get to take their children to see the very busy Santa Clause, he is located in the barn, you will receive a map of the area as soon as you arrive, I would advise going to see Santa first to avoid standing in the rain in what seems a never ending queue. Sitting by the fire, talking to Santa is the perfect way to start your Christmas. Santa is obviously welsh speaking and usually knows all the teachers at your primary school! I have been to see him nearly every year since I was about 5, obviously my present choices have matured as I have got older and this I year I asked for a black volkswagen Eos sport with insurance included. A photo of you and Santa are available from around £4 for a small Christmas memory.


Story Telling
A warm wood burning fire, hot spiced mulled wine, candles sparking through out the room in an late 18th centaury house while Christmas stories are told. This is a lovely event to attend and the stories are hourly so you can always come back for more! This is also a very good opportunity to shelter from the rain and take time to warm up and enjoy a hot beverage and maybe one or two mince pies. From year to year they change the venue for the story telling but as soon as you arrive at St.Fagan a listed guide is given to you so you can plan your evening.


Carol singing
Carol singing is available at an hourly service in the small chapel that is located near the entrance, this is great for children and so much fun to take part in! it really gives you a buzz for Christmas.

Remember to call into the Bakery and buy some delicious warm bread!

Also

The Gwalia Supply co. offers a wide selection of home made welsh food, and why not call into the tearoom above the store for a cup of mulled wine and a welsh cake!

These are only a few events that take place this time of year in St.Fagans, there is so much available for the whole family and really puts you in the Christmas mood, even if the wind is howling and the rain is poring!

Just one thing, watch out for the Marri Lwyd which wanders about the venue, that horse is one nasty piece of work!

Remember to visit st.Fagans shop on the way out, they have a selection of welsh toys, beers, clothes, food and many other trinkets. Visit the shop here.

Christmas @ Cardiff

It’s that time of year again when Cardiff seems to glow as bright as the stars with it’s glistening Christmas lights and decorative Christmas trees. It feels magical wandering around the shops this time of year with a cup of hot chocolate and the sound of Christmas carols being sang while your warped up in your winter coat, it gives you a small buzz of excitement!


Over Christmas Cardiff offers many activities for the whole family. One of these is Winter Wonderland the ice skating rink located opposite City Hall. This is great fun, and is suitable for children from the age of 4 years since they offer a very wide range of ice skates.


St.David’s hall hosts many Christmas concerts for the old and young, some nights there will be the opportunity for children to join in and sing along to all those popular Christmas carols and other nights there will be a full orchestra and impressive choirs which fill the hall of St.David with the spirit of Christmas.


Because this time of year is very busy and can be stuffy and hectic trying to hunt down Christmas gifts can seem like hell on a Saturday afternoon so most of the shops in central Cardiff stay open until 8-9pm so it can be a bit more pleasurable going one night after work and not having to rush going in and out of shops, but to take your time and maybe enjoy a small drink in the HA HA bar/canteen which is located on the corner of Greyfriars road. You can also enjoy the sparkling of the Christmas lights in the city centre as you shop .


Cardiff at Christmas time is a truly wonderful place, it’s Christmas lights may not compare to some of the more impressive City’s in the United Kingdom, but it is certainly a little gem on the map!
