Things to do

Take your seat in the public viewing gallery and watch democracy in action.  All 60 Members of the Senedd meet in the Chamber for the Plenary meeting every Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon (during school term-time). Seats are usually available on the day, but you can pre-book to be sure of a place. 
Committee meetings can also be observed from public galleries. Simply ask at the Senedd reception desk, keep an eye on our public information screens, or visit our website to find out what’s on today.

Listen to the unfolding story of devolution and democracy, architecture, history, and the green credentials of this iconic landmark. Take in as much or as little as you like with the ability to skip and shuffle chapters, with the total tour lasting between 30–45 minutes.

Keep an eye on our what’s on for upcoming exhibitions, online projects, as well as exhibitions touring to locations near you.

The timeline, which was curated in partnership with the Wales Governance Centre, can be seen around the funnel, the central focus of the Oriel.

During your visit look out for two new sculptures by artist and blacksmith, Angharad Pearce Jones. These spaces are yours to participate in a debate and feed into the Senedd’s work.

We are proud to be a breastfeeding friendly estate, and breastfeeding is welcomed anywhere on the estate with options for privacy if preferred, and our café offers heating facilities for baby milk. Baby-changing facilities are also available.

From luxurious gifts to the latest books, panoramic postcards to the best of Welsh food and drink, there’s something to buy to remind you of your visit. We also have a comfortable café area inside which offers a range of hot and cold beverages, light bites and scrumptious cakes and deserts. With excellent WiFi facilities, a large seating area and beautiful views of Cardiff bay, why not us the Senedd as a meeting place!
