January is free at the 'Botanic'!

The National Botanic Garden of Wales celebrated the start of its 10th anniversary year with FREE admission throughout January. It proved so popular, that they’ve decided to do it again in 2011!
A series of events has been arranged throughout the month to help encourage more people to visit the Garden – which The Times newspaper has branded the “Number 1 Winter Wonderland in the UK”.
Through the month, the highlights include: a ‘Local Producer’ Food Fair; Wood Craft Festival; and Wine Weekend – all taking place in the stunning surrounds of Lord Foster’s Great Glasshouse.
Toy-makers, wood-turners and lovespoon-carvers will be taking over the Glasshouse on the penultimate weekend (Sat & Sun, Jan 22-23); there will be a festival of local food and drink on the last weekend of January (Sat & Sun, Jan 29-30); and a wonderful Wine Weekend on January 15-16.
Head of Marketing and Communications David Hardy said: “Our 2010 ‘FREE January’ was such a big hit with visitors and really helped us start our birthday year off on a high. So, we are hoping to repeat this success.
“We’re looking forward to seeing lots of visitors and hoping to make some new friends, too.”
