Travelling by car-share, we meet in the new entrance hall at 10:30 a.m.. We then walk to Llys Llewellyn (building 34) for a talk at 11 a.m. by Senior Curator Dafydd William. Llys Llywelyn is a recreation of a Royal Court of the Princes of Gwynedd used during the 13th century.
We will then visit the nearby craft exhibition gallery, which shares a building with Gweithdy (building 32).
There are several places to choose from for lunch, with free time afterwards.
