Please note booking is required for some talks and tours.
Denbigh Castle
Open Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st September
Denbigh Castle is one of the fortresses that formed King Edward I’s “ring of castles”. Construction of the castle began in 1282 by Henry de Lacy, one of Edward I’s chief commanders. It was not the first stronghold to occupy this strategic site: it was built over the stronghold of Dafydd ap Gruffudd, the Welsh leader crushed by Edward in 1282. During the Civil War (1642-1649), the then decaying castle was repaired by Colonel William Salesbury. In 1646 the castle endured a nine month siege. When Denbigh finally surrendered on 26 October 1646, it was only after the king had personally ordered Salesbury to do so.
Open fro 10am to 5pm No Booking Required
Wireless in Wales Museum
Open Saturday 20th & Sunday 21st September
This building was adopted as the headquarters of a Welsh Language Centre in Denbigh by David Evan Jones in 1991. Mr Jones had had a passion for radio and its role in the broadcasting history of Wales, but sadly passed away just before his vision officially opened to the public. The museum celebrates, from a Wales perspective, the evolution of radio and radio broadcasting. Chronological displays show some rare and representative radios and memorabilia.
The building had housed the old Denbigh Library until 1989. And in the 19th century, its forerunner, the Working Men’s Reading Room, was established here.
Opening Times 10am to 4pm No Booking Required.
Address – Canolfan Iaith Clwyd, Bridge Street, Denbigh, LL16 3LG.
