Tours
of Broadcasting House BBC Cymru Wales, Llandaff, are very limited and
we have booked the three available tours on Tuesday, 5 February 2019.
Each tour is restricted to just 14 people and take place at the
following times: 10.30 am, 1.00 pm and 3.00 pm and each lasts 1.5
hours. The tour involves walking a fair distance around the large
building with periods of standing whilst listening to the guides. BBC
Cymru Wales is a working building, so there is no guarantee who or what
you will see on the day of your visit, and some days are busier than
others. Tours take place at the chosen times to allow maximum access to
studio areas when otherwise they would be in use. It is unlikely you
will see any shows in production for this reason, however you might see
Crimewatch, Wales Today, BBC Radio Wales/Cymru, BBC Radio Cymru,
Interactive Radio Drama, News and Weather.
