The Museum Of Welsh Life is situated at St Fagans just outside Cardiff.

This open air museum features centuries of Welsh tradition's, the different costumes, the culture and the indusrty are shown here.

There are over 40 buildings at the museum, they have been brought stone-by-sone and re-built at the museum. You can visit a 2000 year old Celtic village, a 1980's miner's cottage, a pre-war grocery, a Victorian school room, a 1920's farm and they are planning on adding a 1940's prefab.

The museum has a whole host of special events, for example, until the end of September, on Tuesdays and Fridays, there are traditional folklore stories, there are also Craft Days, a Children's Festival and loads of other special events.

You should phone before you visit, to check what will be happening on the day you plan on going.

It costs £5.50 for adults, but under 19's, OAP's and unemployed people can get in free, which makes this a very reasonable day out for a family.

Of course your enjoyment will depend largely on the weather, but there is a huge amount to see and do and on a fine day, this is a great way to spend a day.
