Things to do

Family Friendly Events in Swansea

Swansea is the perfect place for family friendly fun, come rain or shine. There’s a range of incredible museums and galleries to explore, which showcase exhibitions year round and host workshops throughout the half term and school holiday periods.

Check out the events listings below to find all the great family events happening in the city all year round – from your favourite characters appearing on stage in the Grand Theatre and Swansea Arena, to exploring the rainforests at Plantasia, to Halloween fun and of course the annual Christmas Parade!

And don’t forget, as well as events - there’s nothing better than a trip to the beach and a splash in the sea!

Enjoying Swansea as a family doesn’t have to break the bank either, with plenty of free things to do and free events too.
