About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
More than 200 historic sites and landmarks across Wales will offer visitors free entry this September as Cadw’s Open Doors festival returns.
Open Doors is the largest heritage festival in Wales and aims to encourage people to explore some of the country’s lesser-known sites ― several of which are usually closed to the public.
The 2022 programme features a range of historic venues owned by Cadw, National Trust Wales, Church in Wales, local councils, and private owners, including Neath Abbey, Oystermouth Castle, Caerleon Amphitheatre and Barracks, Bodnant Gardens,Denbigh Castle, and St Davids Cathedral.
Six staffed Cadw sites, including two of Wales’ iconic medieval fortresses ― Harlech Castle in north Wales and Laugharne Castle in south Wales ― will be offering members of the public free site access during the month-long festival.
Meanwhile, 11 of Cadw’s unstaffed sites, many of which are usually closed to the public, will also offer guided tours for free on select dates in September ― including Barclodiad-y-Gawres Burial Chamber on Anglesey.
Non-Cadw sites such as St Davids Cathedral are also offering tours of areas usually closed to the public – with visitors to the site of Wales’ patron saint welcomed into the Old Lapidarium, which hasn’t been open to the public for several years.
