Event:Visit The Vulcan Hotel

Come and visit The Vulcan Hotel – the newest addition to the historic buildings at St Fagans. 

The Vulcan is open 12pm - 4pm Monday - Friday from 7 October. The pub is open 10am - 4pm during weekends. 

The Vulcan Hotel was first registered as an ‘ale house’ in 1853. It served the mainly Irish community of what was then called Newtown. During its long history it saw major changes as Cardiff grew to become an industrial powerhouse and then the nation’s capital, finally closing its doors for the last time in 2012.  

The Vulcan is displayed as it was in 1915, an important year for the pub. At this time, it had just undergone a major refurbishment that saw the distinctive green and brown tiles added to the frontage, as well as a redesign of its interior.  

You can choose to enjoy a drink in The Vulcan, or simply visit and experience the atmosphere of a 1915 pub.
