Bullocks love a day trip to Llandudno. A town on the Welsh coast that is well-known for its Victorian and Edwardian history, as well as its stunning pier and exciting events all year round. We’ve already written the Top 5 Things to do in Llandudno earlier on in the year, but that was very broad, this is an updated list for the rest of 2023 leading up to the festive period.
Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (ETAJ) and Peter Pan at Venue Cymru
Venue Cymru is a theatre in Llandudno that attracts some huge names and puts great shows on all year round. Everybody’s Talking About Jamie (28th November - 2nd December) and Peter Pan (9th December - 31st December) are our picks of the bunch for late 2023! ETAJ won the best new musical at the ‘What’s On Stage Awards’ in London as it follows Jamie New, a 16 year old who doesn't quite fit in, as she becomes a sensation surrounded by her fantastic family and friends. We all know the classic story of Peter Pan, though. The show at Venue Cymru has a star-studded cast who help Peter Pan and his lost boys overcome the challenges of captain hook.
