February Half Term at Tredegar House

What’s open 

This is what you can expect every day when you visit us this season… 

• A historic house with impressive rooms and centuries of stories to inspire and amaze as you step back in time with the Morgan family. Please note that last entry to the house is at 3pm. The bedrooms remain closed until 26 February. 
• Three contrasting formal gardens, with hidden corners, budding flowers and early spring wildlife to find as you take in the peaceful surroundings. 
• A vast parkland and lakeside to explore, with free self-led activities to enjoy (available to download here). The parkland is free to enter and open every day from dawn to dusk. 
• The cosy Brewhouse Café is open daily offering a selection of light bites, cakes and treats, as well as hot and cold drinks, so you can recharge whenever you need. 
• The second-hand bookshop, nestled in the corner of home farm, with a collection of stories to take home. The bookshop is run by a dedicated team of volunteers, so we cannot guarantee it will be open every day.

All of our opening times are available here and our entry prices are available here. 

You can find out what coronavirus measures are in place here. We ask everyone to follow Welsh Government coronavirus guidance when they visit us.
