Cadw announces packed summer programme at Laugharne
Cadw has announced a packed programme of family-friendly events across Wales, including west Wales, with activities taking place at historic sites throughout July and August.
The summer line-up features immersive experiences, interactive workshops and live re-enactments designed to bring the past to life for visitors of all ages.
Gwilym Hughes, head of Cadw, said: "Our summer events are all about making history fun and engaging for families.
"From meeting medieval characters and witnessing dramatic falconry displays to discovering the secrets of ancient ruins and enjoying fairytale picnics, there's something to capture every imagination.
"Plus, with free entry for children under adult memberships, it's a fantastic way to experience Wales' heritage together."
More than 60 events are planned, with standout activities in west Wales.
Laugharne Castle will host a Living History Weekend on Saturday, July 26, and Sunday, July 27.
Guests can explore a medieval village, watch Civil War weapon demonstrations and take part in a mock archaeological dig.
On August 2 and 3, the castle will transform into a scene of Victorian elegance with the Queen Victoria Afternoon Tea Experience, featuring period costumes and a glimpse into 19th-century refinement.
Other events at Laugharne Castle include a Naval Living History Weekend on August 9 and 10, and a Willow Weaving Workshop on August 17.
Cadw is offering an expanded programme of guided tours at select sites across Wales, including Oxwich Castle, with limited spaces available.
Due to high demand, visitors are encouraged to book tickets in advance.
For those looking to explore even more, a Cadw membership offers free entry to all events and unlimited access to 132 historic sites across Wales.
Children go free with adult memberships, providing an affordable way for families to enjoy Wales' heritage throughout the summer.
Full event details and ticket bookings are available on the Cadw website.
