St Davids Day in St Davids
St Davids may be Britain’s smallest city, but it was the birthplace of a national patron saint and so boasts some pretty big celebrations. If you’re heading West to join in this year, here’s all you need to know!
Unlike St Patrick’s Day, St Davids Day is not a bank holiday (yet), but that doesn’t stop the Welsh from celebrating our patron saint just as enthusiastically. Here, in his birthplace, the celebrations on the first of March are very special. Overlooking the cathedral built on the site of his monastic settlement, the importance of this day is palpable.
