Events
| Throughout the year, but especially on Bank Holidays and culturally important dates, the Garden hosts a lively programme of music, dance and theatre. These can vary from carol singing at Christmas to Shakespearean plays, maypole dancing, outdoor classical concerts, Welsh choirs, jazz evenings and sheep dog displays with ducks. |
