Tips for your visit
Avoid visiting St Fagans during the busiest months: in April and August.
May, July and September are quieter, but still attract lots of visitors, especially on weekends. Choose June for the best crowds/weather ratio!
Not surprisingly, St Fagans is at its calmest in winter, but probably it’s not the nicest time to discover the open-air museum. Up to you to decide!
During school holidays and on bank holidays there are much more visitors on site. Choose another day if possible. During the school year opt for weekdays (especially Thursdays and Fridays), they are quieter. During the summer holidays the difference between the visitors numbers during the week and on weekend is not that big - still, it would be smart to avoid visiting St Fagans on Saturday - the busiest day at the museum.
Easter week is a very crowded time, particularly Good Friday and Easter Monday. Food Festival in September is another peak period.
