All the bilingual activities are based on Welsh traditions and heritage. Visitors of all ages will enjoy listening to live harp music and children will have great fun painting their faces with images of the Red Dragon or Daffodils and drawing Celtic crosses on slate. Cwmni Cortyn will wander the site with its puppets and Mair Tomos Ifans will narrate stories.

A newcomer to the annual celebrations will be a local beekeeper who will talk about his work and making honey. This exhibitor was invited to take part because, it is claimed, St David was a beekeeper.

The Welsh Slate Museum is one of the National Museums & Galleries of Wales' six sites across Wales. The other sites are Big Pit: National Mining Museum of Wales, Blaenafon, National Museum & Gallery, Cardiff, Museum of Welsh Life, St Fagans, Roman Legionary Museum, Caerleon, and the National Woollen Museum, Dre-fach Felindre. Opening in summer 2005 is the National Waterfront Museum, Swansea, outlining the story of industry and innovation in Wales.

Entry to all sites is free of charge, thanks to the support of the Welsh Assembly Government.
