Another fantastic from Amgueddfa Cymru, which we visited on a wet school holiday day. There are hands-on activities (though, watch the manual carding - I caught my hand and bled!) and fantastic live demonstrations. It's not just a about wool (though, that's certainly the dominant theme). It's a about a way of life around an industry, and it's really well brought to life. The café even had gluten Welsh cakes! And of course top-quality woollen blankets for sale. A really place to visit. My favourite all around Cymru!!! Everyone makes you feel so comfortable and welcome! You can see these big working as well, i didn't expect that! Clean toilets, parking, cafeteria, craft area for the kids, and a library with chairs to relax and all that for free! Of course you can donate and they deserve it 100%. You'll learn a lot! Thank you so much guys, we had an amazing experience!🐑 Such a exhibit (and free!). Really interesting to see the that created the different clothes, etc. that are such a part of welsh history. I found the plaques interesting and informative. Highly recommended. Very interesting place, well set out with lots of information boards telling the history. Working machinery with demo's. Nice coffee and gift on site. No dogs allowed but it's to enter. Fantastic place to and "free" although you are encouraged to leave a donation to the if you enjoyed your visit. It was really interesting to see all the and hear the stories of the people that worked there and lived in the community. We were lucky enough to see one of the in use, it looked hard work to produce a small intricate piece of fabric. There is a Cafe and Gift Shop. We were to late to use the Cafe as it closed at 3pm but the gift was filled with lovely items which were reasonably priced. The were very friendly and knowledgeable. If you find yourselves like we did looking for something to do on your holiday on a rainy day in Wales then consider a visit. Large Car Park. Very interesting and informative. are very friendly. It's to visit. There are donation if you want to make a donation. carpark. Lovely little and cafe. It's definitely worth a visit. Well presented displays and original machinery. There was so much information regarding the of the trade as to be almost overwhelming at times. A place with very attentive staff. It is to enter, and you can choose to make a voluntary donation without any pressure from staff. It is to enter and the are friendly and informative. It was fascinating learning the of the wool industry and actually seeing the old still being used to refine and spin the wool and then weave it into cloth. Was an amazing experience, wonderful place, the is really nice, the is fantastic. I want to go again, my partner and I had a day. Thank you so much for everything Lovely to see they are taking care of their local history, displaying the machinery and educating the visitors to how the local wool resource was used to make clothing. They are still using same tools to make blankets and other clothing items to be purchased in the local shop. The entrance is but there are voluntary collection boxes and NFC card pay points if you want to support their work. The in the and local cafeteria are very friendly. Such a fun day out, incredible that it’s all for free. So much and interest in the craft. The were incredibly lovely and we had a really time. Shout out to Joan for the chat about all things yarn. Honestly fantastic that nothing goes to waste here, even the wool used in demonstrations is used for something, so impressive. We loved this museum. It showed the process from sheep to yarn, the machinery was amazing bought to life by very knowledgeable staff, facinating and informative. It has a lovely cafe and shop.
