Events and festivals in Wales during May

14 May. International Dylan Thomas Day is celebrated every year on this day, building upon the legacy of the Dylan Thomas 100 Festival. It marks the date Under Milk Wood was first read on stage at The Poetry Centre in New York in 1953. Each year there are performances, online happenings, walking tours and much, much more happening around Wales.

There's loads to see at our seven National Museums, with a variety of permanent displays. Entry to the museums is free. There are charges for some exhibitions. For a full list of events check the What's On page on the National Museum Wales website. There's also a variety of events at Cadw sites too. 

Enjoy a Ramble and Scramble, child friendly self led walks. The walks start and finish at Burry Port, Llanelli, Pontarddulais and Fishguard and Goodwick railway stations. There's a map to download available in Welsh and English, plus activities to do for each walk.
