Experience Democracy in Action
Transparency is at the heart of the Senedd
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.
