In 2025, families across Wales can look forward to free days out for their children, thanks to Cadw family memberships. This initiative provides free entry for children under 18 with at least one adult, making it an attractive option for families eager to explore Wales’ rich historical heritage.
All Cadw membership grant unlimited access to more than 130 historic sites throughout Wales. These include iconic castles, ancient abbeys, and significant industrial heritage sites including UNESCO World Heritage Sites Castell Caernarfon, Castell Harlech, Beaumaris Castle and Blaenafon Ironworks.
By offering free entry for children with a family membership, Cadw encourages families to spend quality time together while learning about Wales’ history and culture. This is particularly beneficial for parents looking to provide enriching experiences without incurring additional costs.
Membership fees contribute to the preservation and maintenance of Wales’ historic landmarks. This support ensures that these sites remain accessible and well-maintained for future generations. Cadw’s efforts in heritage conservation are bolstered by the community’s participation through memberships.
Cadw offers various membership plans to accommodate different needs and budgets. Options range from junior annual memberships at £24 and senior citizen family memberships from £35, to adult and family memberships at £60, with lifetime memberships also available. This flexibility allows more families to participate and benefit from the program.
