Things to do in South Wales at Christmas

Nadolig Llawen! Or, ‘Merry Christmas’ in English. Christmas time in Wales is full of magical wonder. We’ve rounded up some top things to do when you come to stay in at our Llanrhidian Holiday Park this Christmas and New Year.

Waterfront Winterland – Swansea

If you really want to get into the festive spirit then head down to Swansea’s Waterfront Winterland. With an undercover ice rink, alpine bar, funfair and a giant Ferris Wheel, all the magic of the season can be found here.

Join in the fun from the 15th of November, across a number of dates to the 4th of January. For more information, click here. 

Luminate Wales – Margam Park

A spectacular luminated trail around the impressive grounds of Margam Country Park and Castle, this is not one to be missed. With stunning light installations and numerous interactive elements, adults and children alike will be totally enchanted. The mile-long walk is full of wonder and delight with music playing, marshmallows for toasting over fire pits and food caterers offering festive treats.

The event runs from the 22nd of November to the 1st of January. Book your tickets here.

Christmas and New Year’s Day swims

There are several organised festive swims around the county, many being held on Christmas Day itself. Join the local communities and dress up in festive costume, or brave just your swimmers, and take the plunge down the local beaches. The closest to our park is Porthcawl Beach. You can find more information here.

Cardiff Christmas Market

The capital city is the place to be for your Christmas shopping and festive experiences this year. Running from the 14th of November to the 23rd of December in Cardiff city centre, there is a truly magical maze of stalls selling everything from toys and trinkets to cheese and mulled wine.

Now in its 30th year, this year is set to be bigger and better than ever! Click here for more information.

Book your festive stay with us and come and enjoy the magic of Wales.
