Group Visits
Pre-booked guided tours are available, free of charge, at the Senedd in Cardiff Bay (seven days a week) and the North Wales Visitor Centre in Colwyn Bay (weekdays only).
Tours of the Senedd, Cardiff Bay
Pre-booked groups of visitors are welcomed at the Senedd and they are shown around the unique landmark building by Tour Guides. It may also be possible to meet Assembly Members, if this is requested beforehand and subject to their availability.
On business days (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday), visitors are shown the Neuadd, Oriel, Committee gallery and Siambr gallery. Presentations focus on the sustainable features of the building as well as the workings of the Assembly and last about an hour. A tour does not automatically include seats for Plenary sessions or Committee meetings. If these are required, they should be booked separately, which can be done up to three weeks in advance.
On non-business days, and during recess, groups of 20 and under are given the added option of visiting the Cwrt and the Siambr.
British Sign Language (BSL) Interpretation and Translation Services
BSL Interpreters, lip-speakers, palantypists, Maketon and language translators are available on request for Plenary, committee meetings and guided tours of the Senedd and North Wales Visitor Centre (Colwyn Bay). Fifteen working days notice is required, as the availability of interpreters and translators is limited. This service can be booked at no cost to the visitor.
