Cardiff and The Royal Mint

Monday 6 September 2027

Single room (limited availability) £Nil

One of the most interesting new attractions in many years, the Royal Mint Visitor Centre, opened its doors recently and was a huge success. Since decimal coinage was introduced, the Royal Mint has been at Llantrisant, and it now produces coins and medals for over 60 countries. We take a guided tour of the production process and then head to the Visitor Centre for a self-guided engaging tour of static and interactive exhibits. Enjoy a half-day guided tour of Cardiff City Centre and the modernised Cardiff Bay. Come with us as we take a tour to the Penderyn Visitor Centre.
