For our Station House guests - It's good vibes all the way this Saturday with a fabulous Artisan Market lined up for the whole family!
Here's what's in store this month...
As always, the pretty Victorian streets of Colwyn Bay will be paved in stalls as North Wales' biggest Artisan Market is back with our September event this Saturday.
There'll be an abundance of quality artisans selling their finest
arts, crafts and creations with plenty of foodie treats on offer too.
Plus the fabulous The Peacock Lounge Cocktail bar is back!
So with cocktails and artisan wines & spirits for the adults to enjoy, you can have a drink, have a nibble and, most importantly, have a merry old time on your way around the market!

We've got live music galore with a host of musicians playing from beginning to end including the 'Ghostbuskers' and their acoustic crowd, Colwyn Bay band 'G String Unplugged' and there's even a chance for you to get up and sing us a song with family band The Sojourners and their street karaoke sessions!

There's lots of fun for the little ones too, Dychmygu Bae Colwyn / Imagine Colwyn Bay & TAPE Community Music and Film
will be offering art and animation workshops with
free colouring books and much much more.
Plus there'll be bubbles, street entertainers, magic tricks and our

Aberconwy House (National Trust entry with visit to Conwy Suspension Bridge) Castle Street, Conwy LL32 8AY This is the only medieval merchant’s house in Conwy to have survived the turbulent history of the walled town over 7 centuries. Furnished rooms and helpful volunteers are great with kids to explain how people lived in medieval times and who may have lived here! Note lots of stairs to the top!
