Know Before You Go

  • Tickets: £2 per person; free for children under 3. The page also says there is a £2 entrance fee for age 3+ and asks visitors to bring cash.
  • Parking: Limited free parking is available on site. The page recommends using the free shuttle bus from Caernarfon because parking is limited and visitors may be turned away. It also suggests sharing cars.
  • Pets: Well-behaved dogs are welcome on short leads. Individual craft workshops may have their own rules depending on the size of the unit and the nature of the work.

Tips & Advice

  • Take the free shuttle bus from Balaclava Road in Caernarfon, since on-site parking is very limited and visitors are turned away every year.
  • Bring plenty of cash for entry and the stalls, because mobile and Wi-Fi signal across the site can be patchy.
  • Keep your dog on a short lead, and be ready to wait outside craft workshops that have their own rules about dogs.
  • Get a friend or family member to drop you off and collect you later so you can browse the 80-plus stalls at your own pace.
  • If you're coming by public transport, the #12 Caernarfon–Pwllheli service bus stops right outside Parc Glynllifon.
