Alternative Things to Do During the Llandudno Extravaganza

Every year, the Llandudno Extravaganza weekend transforms the town into a buzzing carnival of steam engines, fairground rides and vintage Victorian costumes. It’s brilliant, bonkers, and beloved by locals and tourists alike. But what if you’ve already had your fill of candyfloss, seen enough traction engines to last a lifetime, or you’re simply in the mood for something a bit… alternative?

Well, you’re in the right town. Llandudno might have its roots in the 1800s, but it’s got a 21st-century vibe with something for everyone. If you’re seeking something quirky, bold, immersive or just downright different this Extravaganza, here are some original ideas to spice up your long weekend – starting with one of the town’s most exciting gems…

Just a few steps away from the carnival chaos of Mostyn Street, Johnny Throws is the perfect escape.

Step inside our newly refurbished venue and discover axe throwing and augmented reality darts – thrilling, one-of-a-kind experiences that blend adrenaline, fun, and competition. Whether you’re a first-time axe thrower or a darts enthusiast, it’s the ideal spot to unwind and do something totally different.

Our sun-trap terrace, with a great view of Mostyn Street, is the best place to take in the energy of the weekend— all from a peaceful, elevated vantage point. And with a fully licensed bar on hand, you can sip on your favourite beer, cocktail, or soft drink while watching the crowds below.

Best of all? You can skip the fairground snacks and indulge in Llandudno’s favourite pizza, delivered straight to your throwing lane by Johnny Dough’s. From the bold Sheep Shish to the irresistible Meaty Special, we’ve got your carnival cravings covered.

Not all the action has to be loud. Head to West Shore for a quieter, more chilled-out vibe. Several local instructors offer beach yoga sessions in the early morning and evening — ideal for clearing your head before you get lost in the crowds again. Check out Ayla Yoga for bespoke, private tuition or beach-based wellness.
