Passengers across Wales will be treated to a range of St David’s Day celebrations as Transport for Wales (TfW) marks the occasion with food, music and community spirit.
A food truck serving traditional Welsh rarebit will set up outside Cardiff Central from mid-morning to mid-afternoon on Friday 27 February, with Cwmbach Male Voice Choir performing and turning one of Wales's busiest stations into a St David's Day celebration.
The celebrations extend further along the network, with passengers on TrawsCymru T2, T3 and fflecsi routes in Machynlleth and Dolgellau offered Welsh cakes by staff.
In Merthyr Tydfil, TfW’s community rail partnership with Theatr Soar will also be handing Welsh cakes baked by a local charity to passengers on trains and at stations. Passengers who order their drink in Welsh at the café will receive a free drink voucher.
On Saturday, the partnership continues with a free craft session at Theatr Soar before the venue opens its doors for a joint celebration of its 15th birthday with live bands and entertainment for all the family.
Lowri Joyce, Head of Welsh Language, said:
“St David's Day is a moment for Wales to come together and celebrate what makes our country so special.
“At Transport for Wales, we want to be woven into the fabric of everyday life in Wales, connecting people to jobs, education, and to each other.
“Whether you're joining us for Welsh rarebit and live music in Cardiff, a Welsh cake on the TrawsCymru network, or exploring the Mabinogi trail this weekend, we wish everyone a Dydd Gŵyl Dewi Hapus.”
TfW is sponsoring ForCardiff Welsh Tales Trail on the weekend, a free walking trail around the city which is inspired by the Mabinogi. Visit forcardiff.com/littlethings/mabinogi-trail/ for more information.
Families travelling to celebrate St David’s day across TfW’s network can take advantage of the family ticket, which allows up to two children (under the age of 16) to travel for free with every fare paying adult on any return journey.
