There are fewer more iconic places in the country for celebrating Christmas than Snowdon, especially when the winter snow lays upon its great peaks. If you’re in the area this November, take a journey to Electric Mountain to unearth the real spirit of Yule.
The Electric Mountain is the venue for a fun-filled spectacular two days of Christmassy fun when the market gets into full swing. With so much to see and do, you would be forgiven as a grown-up for not trying to ascend one of their many excellent climbing walls on your trip.
Initially what started off as a hub for hydro energy (which at one stage was the biggest of its kind in the world)has evolved into a family day of excitement as you traverse the glorious dam itself and see sights unequalled across the whole of Snowdonia.
The Dinowrig Power Station is all set for a highly enjoyable two days and there are even rumours of a certain man from Lapland making a surprise appearance for all the kids.
After the kids have enjoyed The Den in which they can play in a safe but fun environment, they can join you as you take in all of the wonderful crafts that have been made locally and especially for this special occasion.
Elsewhere, you can pick from a selection of fantastic gift ideas for your loved ones or maybe you can treat yourself! There’s so much to choose from that it will be hard to resist picking up some guilty pleasures.
If homemade cakes are not your thing then you can go along to the superb café facilities after your great day exploring how to make the most of our natural resources.
So, over the 23rd and 24th of November, take a journey to the heart of Snowdonia to uncover an early Christmas treat.
