Event:Carols in the Chapel

St Fagans National Museum of History

We’ve got a festive pick and mix for you this year. Each weekend in December there’ll be a host of Christmassy fun to get you in the mood for the big day.

Explore our historic buildings which will be decorated in their contemporary Christmas finest, indulge in some festive food and drink from our restaurant, or take part in one of our seasonal events. 

We’re expecting an appearance from a special Christmas character. Can you spot him as you walk around the Museum? 

Carols in the Chapel

There’s nothing like a bit of carol singing to get you in the mood for the festive season. 
Join us in the Museum's 18th century Pen-rhiw Chapel for St Fagans' favourite sing-a-long. There'll be lots of traditional tunes and a few more contemporary Christmas classics.
