Santa is Coming

A Festive Adventure

Excitement is mounting as Santa and his elves start preparations to take the train into the world famous Llechwedd Slate Caverns to take up residence in his underground grotto.

Each year Santa’ elves visit North Wales and deck the subterranean world of Llechwedd with glittering lights. On the 30^th November Santa’s sleigh will land in Snowdonia before the train takes  him into the heart of the mountain to meet children from all over Britain.

This year the elve’s are planning a special party night in the Caverns Café with on 4^th December with magic, kiddies disco and special treats FREE to anyone taking the Santa Train that night.

The Santa Train takes children and adults alike into the magical underground world of Llechwedd where each child meet Santa in his cave and receives a gift. The adults are rewarded with a mince pie and a glass of fruit punch.

As the train travels into the mountain there are festive surprises in the tunnel on what is perhaps the most unusual grotto in Britain.

Arts and Crafts at Llechwedd this Summer

This summer  we’ve got a real treat going on for art lovers and kids alike here at Llechwedd. A lovely lady called Carol who makes patchwork and quilts has set up her studio next to the Victorian Sweetshop for the duration of the summer holidays.

Carol – who incidentally is Mum to Cariad who runs our shop – is in her Studio Monday to Friday each week and is happy to chat or work with kids on a little project. Carol came to us because she was inspired by a visit to Llechwedd some months ago. Since then she has been busy creating cushions, ipad covers and even quilts based on her love of the amazing landscape around us.

Come over and have a chat or better still come and have a go … chatting is free and a workshop is only £2.00.
