St. Fagans - a great day out

[Organ Morgan.]

For anyone struggling for something to do tomorrow, why not visit the National History Museum? You can gain an insight of how Welsh people used to live, the trades they plied and the accommodation they lived in - everything from the poor farm labourers to the landed gentry.

And it's free entry! Open 10am-5pm daily.

Agree with both of you - brilliant attraction and museum. We're very lucky to have it in Wales

Anyone know when all the building work will be complete and the visitor centre open?

[Organ Morgan.]

The electrical work in the Castle (Elizabethan manor house, really) won't be concluded until next year. Not sure when the centre'll be completed. It's difficult to view all the buildings in one day, anyhow.

One thing, for those with kids, or on a budget, take a carrier bag of pop and grub 'cause the price of refreshments are pricey.

In fairness you've been spoils for choice in seeing old buildings in need of restoration and looking like they are falling down.

Just think of Pontmorlais

A day out for skinflints

Been there twice recently and the only cheapskate I saw was when I caught sight of my reflection. I'd say St. Fagans is a light year more interesting than Cardiff Castle. It costs £12 to get in there.

A visit to Ken Morgan's flat on Pontmarlais is what I call a proper day out

If it's a free day out your after id rather a picnic in Bute Park myself but each to their own.

Apart from the risk from your associates, I think the flat has had a prohibition order taken out on it due to being a death trap.

You were luckier than you thought!

Haven't been to see the pub they rebuilt from near the prison and opposite SW University but it sounds like another great addition.

Or just take a detour through Swansea.

I woke up there after last years Xmas party with no recollection of how I got from Morlais Golf Club to Kens flat

I haven't been allowed out on my own since

There's a working men's club there somewhere. I didn't manage to find it or the pub. Did locate three toilets though. Better lay off the grog before visiting next time.

We're lucky to have somewhere so close to home where we can take a step back in time and see the hovels that people used to live in.
otherwise we'd have to go all the way to Leeds

If you want to visit shit houses then you have arrived.
Joking aside I'm a stone throw away and I have been there once.
Criminal I know.

I have hosted quite a few foreign schoolchildren and students over the years (particularly Japanese) and I always try to take them to the magnificent St Fagan's.

You talking about the Vulcan?

AFAIK it was demolished with a view to rebuilding it at St Fagans, but there's no funds to do the rebuild.

Pity, it could be a money-spinner.

Haven't done it myself, but I believe that IF you have a Cardiff address, you can get an annual pas for a fiver.


Edit: better than that, it's for 3 years.

the workingman's club was Oakdale, my grandparents had a farm near the village

I went to St Fagans - and came away with a bruised forehead.
