Go North Wales

02/09/2026

Well, the weather's doing its thing today 🌧️

We're in North Wales though – we know how to handle a bit of rain.

Loads to do indoors around here. Soft play, swimming pools, museums, trampolining, bowling, escape rooms, cinemas, craft centres, aquariums… the list goes on.

No need to write off the day just because it's chucking it down outside.

Tucked away on the coast of Snowdonia, Portmeirion is like nowhere else on earth. An enchanting Italianate village with colourful buildings, sub-tropical gardens, woodland walks and stunning estuary views. It's the kind of place that feels like stepping into another world.

And now you could explore it all year round – for free.

This includes:

Free entry for 12 months – visit as many times as you like
Free entry to the Portmeirion Christmas Fair – if your membership covers the festive period

That's a whole year of exploring the iconic village, wandering the beautiful gardens, stopping for gelato, and making memories with the family.

What Makes Portmeirion So Special?
Award-winning restaurants and cafes
Stylish hotels and self-catering cottages
Shops including the famous Portmeirion Pottery
Home of the cult TV series The Prisoner
Host to Gŵyl Portmeirion Festival
