“It’s raining, it’s pouring, the old man is snoring…….”

This funny little ditty never seemed so appropriate as on a Welsh bank holiday in August. It wouldn’t be a bank holiday if it wasn’t for the rain, would it? And who needs sunshine anyway? A bit of rain isn’t going to stop our fun. Here’s our list of favourite wet weather Bank Holiday fun attractions in Snowdonia. Rain will definitely not stop play….

• Bounce Below – who needs sunshine when you’re underground? This awesome attraction has taken up residence in a disused slate cavern in the heart of the Welsh hills. Trampolines and giant slides are suspended in the cavern, which is the size of St Paul’s Cathedral, and all you have to do is JUMP! Great we weather bank holiday fun.
• King Arthur’s Labyrinth – another underground adventure so it doesn’t matter if it’s raining cats and dogs. This fantastic attraction will take you back through history to the magical world of King Arthur and his friends.
• Piggery Pottery – unleash your creative side at this pottery and gallery where you have the chance to throw and create your own pot! Sunshine not necessary…..
