Cadw is gearing up for an exciting spring with a full schedule of events and activities planned across its historic monuments for the Easter school holidays.
Whether hunting for Easter eggs, following bunny trails, stepping back in time with medieval reenactments, or learning new skills at circus training workshops, there’s something designed for everyone over the Easter break. The events provide fun, adventure, and educational experiences to visitors of all ages.
Head of Cadw, Gwilym Hughes, said: “The Easter holidays is the perfect time for families to get out, and explore the rich history and stories right on their own doorstep. We wanted to create an action-packed schedule of events that not only helps families to enjoy quality time together but also inspires a sense of pride and curiosity about Welsh heritage.
“Children go free with any adult membership, which offers great value for families looking to make the most of multiple visits and events throughout the year. Members enjoy unlimited access to 132 historical locations across Wales year-round, along with exclusive discounts at gift shops and similar attractions across the UK.”
