Choose your destination - there's so much going on in Swansea this bank holiday weekend
A wide range of bank holiday fun is on offer this weekend and next week thanks to Swansea Council's attractions and activities.
Many are free of charge or available at a discounted cost, helping families through the cost of living crisis.
Robert Francis-Davies, Cabinet Member for Investment, Regeneration and Tourism said: "We want people across the city to have a fantastic time this weekend.
"The attractions we run and manage range from vast sandy beaches to top quality cultural venues and from ever-popular outdoor attractions like crazy golf to the superb free-entry Blackpill Lido.
"The vast range of free and low-cost facilities on offer are just part of our overall commitment to support the wellbeing and enjoyment of the people of Swansea at a time when money is short."
Council-managed parks and beaches are a great option for picnics if the sun's out.
You can take a pedalo - in the shape of a swan or dragon - around the Singleton Boating Lake, or try crazy golf there or at Southend Gardens.
The seafront Blackpill Lido has an outdoor water park with paddling pool plus lawns and a playground.
Oystermouth Castle is due to host a Prince and Princesses Day on Monday (note: August 26) featuring colourful characters, music and storytelling.
Savings can be made at paid-for attractions for those Swansea residents who are part of the council's Passport to Leisure scheme.
The council's free bus service is running from Friday until Monday (note: August 26).
The council's highly-rated cultural venues and libraries continue to run free events and activities.
The Dylan Thomas Centre, the Glynn Vivian Art Gallery, Swansea Museum and the National Waterfront Museum are all free entry.
There are garden games at Swansea Museum and the chance to tackle the venue's mouse trail.
