Cadw events
All Cadw events charging standard admission prices and within standard opening hours do not require pre-booking. Admission tickets can be purchased on arrival or online.
(The only exception is Castell Coch, due to the limited capacity at the site it is advisable to book tickets online in advance).
Visit our Find a Cadw event page for a full list of Cadw events.
If Cadw events require tickets for additional chargeable activities, evening, or special events, all details will be displayed on individual event pages in the What’s On area.

Find a place to visit
We care for 132 historic sites around Wales, many of which are open and free to visit.
Please check individual site pages for our latest opening times and facilities (some of our admission charging sites close during the winter period).
Due to the nature of some of our monuments, we may need to close sites at short notice in poor weather conditions.
If you are planning to visit in bad weather, please check our social media channels or call our team before visiting to check the monument is open and safe to visit.
If you have questions about your visit please call our customer services team on: 03000 252239 or email us at: cadw@tfw.wales
