We know Christmas is a special time of year at Dyffryn Gardens, and we can’t wait to welcome you for the winter season. Enjoy our winter trails, stop for a spot of Christmas shopping, or warm up with a bite to eat in the Gallery Café. The gardens will be open every day, except on the 25th and 26th December.
Like many charities, we're facing unprecedented challenges due to the Coronavirus pandemic. Therefore, we're focussing on providing safe and enjoyable visits during an uncertain time over winter, and as such have made the decision not to hold Father Christmas events this season. We hope that you’ll join us as we watch the gardens transform with the seasons during this magical time, and very much appreciate your continued support.
Percy the Park Keeper's winter wander trail
Dates: 4th December - 9th January, 10am - 4pm
Price: £2 per trail, in addition to normal admission fees
There’s a lot to do over winter in the gardens at Dyffryn, so Percy could do with a helping hand. Have a go at some winter tasks and activities around the gardens with Percy’s animal friends. A note from Percy will guide you on your way, and once you’ve finished, there’ll be a prize waiting for you to collect.
Winter walks
Dates: 10th January - 28th February, 10am - 4pm
Price: Free, but normal admission fees apply
Enjoy a peaceful winter walk at Dyffryn where there are still colours and textures to discover, and new views that can only be seen when the trees lose their leaves. Take your time to pause and hear the sounds of winter around you and observe how the garden is preparing for spring. This season’s walk takes you through the heart of the garden and via the Gallery café to stop for a warming drink.
