What to bring
We hope that you can make a week-end of this and enjoy
your stay at Portmeirion.
As well as the famous Village of Portmeirion, there are 70 acres of exotic woodlands and 20 miles of paths as well as access to the incredible beaches on the estuary, so don't forget to bring some outdoor wear if you'd like to explore.
Gifts
We are very fortunate to have all we need in life, including each other.
However, we are living in a time when many people do not even have the basics.
It is more than enough that you will be with us, and we do not need gifts.
However, if you wish to and feel able to do so,
we would prefer that, instead of gifts, you made a small, anonymous donation.
Donations will go directly to the Trussell Trust which supports a national network of food banks including in Wirral and Chester
