Visit Wales

 

1st of March is one of the most colourful days of the year in Wales. You will find bright yellow daffodils, green leeks and traditional Welsh costumes.

Why?

The national day of Wales, St David’s Day is celebrated on the 1st of March.

This day is a great way to learn about Welsh culture.

Welsh culture is not well-known, so find out what it means to be Welsh!

St David’s Day is a day to explore Welsh food, music, and traditions.

’Do the little things in life’ is considered St David’s most famous phrase and was one of the last words he spoke before dying. It is still a well-known phrase in Wales.

Usually, St David’s Day is a day of parades and performances. Flags are flown. The national anthem is sung with extra fervour. Children go to school in traditional Welsh dress, and everyone (well, almost) proudly pins a daffodil or leek to their lapel. To mark the special day, Welsh people eat traditional Welsh cakes, lamb, mutton and leek dishes.

Due to the lockdown, St David’s Day might look a bit different.
