mince pie for you to enjoy before you embark on your underground adventure.<br />

Traditional Welsh<br />
Christmas<br />
Our Christmas Nights are back on 6 – 9 December and there’s no<br />
better way to kick off the Festive Season! This December sees the<br />
return of a St Fagans favourite, so if you’re looking for a traditional<br />
Welsh Christmas to remember, why not grab a torch, wrap up<br />
warm and follow the star to St Fagans this year! Celebrate in style<br />
with carols in the chapel, traditional Welsh Plygain singing in the<br />
church and a Brass Band on Gwalia Green. Make a start on your<br />
Christmas shopping at our Makers’ Market – a chance to pick up<br />
gifts and treats you won’t find on the High Street.<br />
For the little ones there’ll be a chance to meet Santa, with a tale<br />
or two from Mother Christmas to keep you entertained while you<br />
wait your turn. You can write your Christmas list at the Victorian<br />
Schoolhouse and post it at Wales’ smallest post office. Then make<br />
something special at our family friendly craft workshops. With<br />
logs on the fire, trimmings on the tree and plenty of yuletide<br />
family fun - there’s sure to be something to jingle your bells at St<br />
Fagans this Christmas.<br />
