More about Alexandra

West Glamorgan, Wales

Alexandra in West Glamorgan is a proper find for anyone who likes their culture with a side of community spirit. You can catch a live show at Bucca's or wander through the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery to see what the local artists have been up to lately. Even if you fancy getting your hands dirty, there's usually a workshop running somewhere within shouting distance. The Swansea Hackspace is open for tinkerers who want to build something new without needing a PhD in engineering. It is a handy spot to grab a coffee and chat with neighbours while you sort out your latest project. We have pulled all these options together so you do not need to hunt them down on a rainy afternoon.
