Welcome to the Dylan Thomas Centre!
We’re currently open from 10am to 4.30pm, from Wednesday to Sunday. Entry is free.
Our ‘Love the Words’ Exhibition explores Dylan Thomas’ life, work and cultural context. Follow a timeline of key dates and events, explore our interactive displays, and discover some fascinating objects, as original manuscripts, recordings, art and film tell the story of the life of one of the 20th century’s greatest writers.
Our family friendly exhibition also features a free Children’s Trail for younger visitors, and is all on one level on the ground floor, with a range of seating. We’ve also developed sensory bags and resources to enhance the experience of our exhibitions and collections for visitors who find benefit and enjoyment from sensory interaction.
Our temporary exhibition space hosts changing displays, and our Learning Space is regularly open for families to enjoy self-led creative activities, as well as tutor-led workshops. We offer creative writing sessions for children and young people, host school visits, and run workshops for those seeking sanctuary. Get in touch to find out more, by emailing dylanthomas.lit@swansea.gov.uk or calling us on 01792 463980 during opening hours.
We have sensory resources available; please ask at front desk for a sensory bag. We’ve written a blog about our resources which you can read here. Keep an eye on our events page or social media for details of our Quiet Workshops.
