It’s the summer holidays, the kids have broken up from school for 6 weeks and now you want to find things to fill the days and make some perfect family memories. Well, look no further! Here are the top 8 free things to do this summer in Wales!

01. Party At The Park 

Party At The Park takes place on Saturday 7th August 2021 in Newport’s Tredegar Park and it is the PERFECT family friendly festival! We have amazing Live Music, a Fun Fair, Glitter Face Painting plus so much more plus Children Under 12 go Free! To find out more, head here.

02. Margam Country Park

The magnificent castle, 18th century orangery, ornamental gardens and deer park at Margam Country Park in Port Talbot are set in 1,000 acres of lovely countryside. In addition, there’s a narrow gauge railway, adventure playgrounds, a nursery rhyme-themed children’s area and a rare breeds farm trail to keep you busy. Entry to the park itself and most of its attractions are free, but some days there are special events so entry charges apply.

03. Llanddwyn Island

The entire 870-mile Wales Coast Path is free for everyone to explore. One place, Llanddwyn Island, is well worth a visit if you’re after something fairytale-like. This magical ‘island’, which is rarely cut off completely by water, is the setting for the perfect family adventure in Anglesey. Walk through the nature reserve to reach an old lighthouse and ruined chapel.

04. St Fagans Museum of National History

The most popular heritage attraction in Wales – for very good reason – St Fagans Museum of National History is an immersive exploration of Welsh life through the ages. The big draw is outside in the parkland, where more than 40 original historic buildings have been reassembled, including farms, shops, a terrace of miners’ cottages, a workingmen’s institute, pub, woollen mill, bakehouse and 12th century church. The indoor galleries recently had a £30 million makeover, along with a new Gweithdy (workshop) for craft displays and activities. It’s also well worth exploring the beautiful formal gardens of St Fagans Castle, a 16th century manor house.
