ThingsToDoA free craft-and-park outing
A focused gallery visit with an optional outdoor pause, without paid museum tickets.
Contemporary making without an admission charge / RUTHIN
Ruthin Craft Centre
Explore changing exhibitions of applied art, from the form of an object to the skill behind its surface. The galleries and maker spaces offer a modern counterpoint to Ruthin’s historic buildings and suit a visit that leaves time to look closely. An ordinary gallery visit is worthwhile on its own; workshops and individual makers’ availability are separate checks.
