About
Discover the Beauty of South Wales Church Life
The Churches Unlocked Festival was founded in 2022 by the Diocese of Llandaff's Church Buildings Team as an opportunity to celebrate the history, stories and hidden treasures of church buildings in the diocese. Participating churches unlocked their doors for days at a time, to welcome in visitors from their communities and far and wide. With the amazing talents and efforts of our church volunteers, it became clear that the festival was doing far more than celebrating church buildings.
​
The festival celebrates all the joys in church life past and present including music, arts and crafts, quizes, history talks, tours, and lots of family fun.

We can't wait to see you.
