Swansea primary school pupils now have the unique opportunity to explore the historic Oystermouth Castle free of charge during select sessions over the coming weeks.
Children dressed in their local school uniforms can enjoy complimentary entry, when visiting the ticket office after 3pm on term-time weekdays.
The castle remains open daily until 5pm, with the last admission at 4:30pm. Additionally, children under the age of five continue to enjoy free entry during all opening hours.
This initiative is proudly managed by the Friends of Oystermouth Castle and aims to provide an enriching, low-cost experience for young learners. The offer runs until the end of September during term time.
Councillor Elliott King, Cabinet Member for Culture, Human Rights & Equalities at Swansea Council, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for parents and grandparents collecting children from school to enjoy an affordable, entertaining, and educational experience.”
Councillor Robert Smith, Cabinet Member for Education, added: “The opportunity to get close-up to local history does not get much better than a trip to Oystermouth Castle. Youngsters at our schools will be learning all about Swansea’s heritage in class, so a free visit to the castle will only help bring it to life.”
Nestled above the scenic Mumbles seafront with breathtaking views over Swansea Bay, Oystermouth Castle invites families to immerse themselves in its historical charm. Don’t miss the chance to visit – it’s open daily from 11am to 5pm and during weekends in October.
