Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza

The Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza takes place on the first May bank holiday weekend each year. It takes over the main streets of Llandudno for the full three days, bringing Vintage attractions, Entertainment and Fun fair. Now in it's 40th year, if you haven't been yet you are missing out!

This fantastic event is free to attend and has many free aspects. 

 

*The event is free to attend, the entertainment is free, the exhibits are free to see and the daily parade is also free to watch. There are a number of fun fair attractions and stalls at the event that are chargeable. If you wish to participate you will be required to pay. Prices start from £2.

The victorian weekend is often confused with the Llandudno Transport Festival which happens the same weekend on Bodafon fields in Llandudno. This is a separate event and does have an entrance fee.

We make every effort to ensure that all arrangements for the holidays advertised are accurate and we aim only to deal with suppliers who are efficient and reputable. We do not have any direct control over the provisions of our suppliers’ services and do not accept any loss caused by the non-performance of these suppliers. We also reserve the right to change our printed itinerary should external factors enforce such action either prior to or during the holiday. Your signature on the booking form indicates that these conditions are acceptable to you. Similarly any published times which are given to you may be affected by situations beyond our control such as road maintenance and weather conditions and should only be used as a guideline.

BOOKINGS

To make a valid booking you must complete a booking form and pay the deposit. Where there is more than one member of a party to be included in a booking, the person signing the booking form shall be deemed to do so on the basis that he or she represents and acts as agent for all members of the party and as such accepts these booking conditions on behalf of each member of the party. Bookings will be confirmed by issuance of a confirmation invoice, which will show the balance due on your holiday and the due date of your balance.

PRICE

We guarantee not to raise the price of a holiday unless there is a major cost increase beyond our control, e.g. an oil crisis with subsequent fuel increases, changes in the VAT rate, currency fluctuations etc. No surcharges will be made once the balance has been paid. In the unlikely event that we are obliged to make a surcharge, you will be given the option of continuing with your booking at the new price or cancelling your booking. If you decide to cancel we will refund all payments made to us in respect of your holiday.

We aim never to cancel any tour and would only do so in exceptional circumstances or due to failure to reach minimum required numbers.
