Engagements in South Wales

 









The Duchess of Cambridge joined Prince William to visit Gavin & Stacey's slot machine arcade in South Wales. Both, they hit the real-life beachfront family attractions made famous in comedy favourite Gavin and Stacey. The royals laughed as they played in Island Leisure amusement - the iconic setting for 'Nessa's Slots' at the Welsh resort. During their visit, the Duke and Duchess heard about the impact that closing has had on the businesses during a typically busy period for the seaside resort, which attracted 424,000 visitors in 2019, and the measures they have put in place to allow them to start reopening in a safe and secure manner. They visited the beach huts on the eastern end of the promenade which have been installed as part of the Vale of Glamorgan Council's £6m regeneration project in Barry. The project has also seen the restoration of the promenade and shelter, and the installation of new public art and entertainment spaces, a climbing wall and water feature. For their last engagement of the day, The Duke and the Duchess visited Shire Hall Care Home in Cardiff. The care home provides residential, nursing and dementia care and is part of Hallmark Care Homes, a family-run care provider with 20 care homes across England and Wales.  Staff spoke about the measures that have been put in place in order to allow the residents to safely receive visits from family members and friends.
