Upcoming Event

The Dylan Thomas Birthplace
Where Dylan was born, spent twenty three years of his life, & wrote two-thirds of his work.
When you walk through the doors of this living museum, you immediately feel an uniquely intimate connection with the life of one of Wales’ greatest poets. In every room you breathe in the spirit of the Edwardian era, when the Thomas family first moved in. Today, it’s a unique leisure destination for private tours, staycation, and dining experience.
The house was opened by Dylan’s daughter Aeronwy Ellis on the 94th anniversary of the poet’s birth in 2008. Former US President Jimmy Carter lends his voice to welcome visitors to the Birthplace, which King Charles III (then Prince Charles) visited in 2012.
