1. Make amazing memories at Johnny Throws

🎯 Where: Mostyn Street, Llandudno.
💥 Perfect for: Dads who like action, competition, or trying something new.

If you’re looking for something a bit different (and a lot of fun), start your Father’s Day with a session at Johnny Throws — North Wales’ only indoor axe throwing and Smart darts venue.

This is not your typical day out. With a fully-licensed bar, great pizza, and an atmosphere full of energy and laughter, it’s the ideal shared experience for dads and families. It’s safe, expertly run, and surprisingly addictive.

👉 Father’s Day tip: Book ahead — it gets busy!

2. Stroll the Llandudno Pier and Treat Him to Classic Seaside Nostalgia

🎡 Where: North Parade.
🎁 Perfect for: Dads who love retro fun, photography, or a slow-paced day out.

What’s more nostalgic than a walk down Llandudno’s iconic Victorian pier? Stroll side-by-side past candyfloss stands, take some classic photos, and end with a pint at the pier’s end bar — a hidden gem for people-watching and sea views.

You might even grab a few rounds at the old-fashioned amusement arcade — who says dads can’t be competitive?

3. Take the Great Orme Tramway to the Summit (and Pack a Picnic)

🚋 Where: Victoria Station, Church Walks.
🧺 Perfect for: Dads who love nature, fresh air, and great views.

Make your Father’s Day more adventurous by hopping aboard the historic Great Orme Tramway. It’s a beautiful, peaceful journey up the headland — and at the top, the reward is spectacular views over the bay.

Bring a picnic (or pick up takeout from a local café) and soak in the scenery. If your dad’s the type to appreciate simple moments with a cracking view, this is gold.

4. Grab Sunday Lunch or Brunch at a Local Favourite

🍽️ Try: The Cottage Loaf, Dylan’s, or Osborne’s Café Grill.
🥩 Perfect for: Foodie dads and those who think Father’s Day = roast day.

Whether you’re after a proper Sunday roast or just a craft beer and burger in a great setting, Llandudno has no shortage of great food spots. Book ahead and look out for Father’s Day menus, which many venues release closer to the date.

For something extra special, consider a Father’s Day brunch with local produce and artisan coffee. Try Providero for great coffee and cakes or Indulge for a brunch with a twist.

5. Catch a Show or Comedy Night at Venue Cymru

🎭 Where: Promenade.
🎤 Perfect for: Dads who like a laugh, live music, or theatre.

Check the listings at Venue Cymru — it often hosts big-name comedians, tribute bands, and family-friendly performances. It’s a great way to wind down the day after more active adventures.

Shared laughter = top-tier bonding. And if you’ve never been to a show together before, it could be the start of a new tradition.

6. Explore Hidden Llandudno: Take the Dad-Friendly Heritage Trail

🧭 Where: Start at the Tourist Information Centre.
📚 Perfect for: History-loving dads and curious minds.

If your dad’s the sort to say things like “this used to be all fields,” then the Llandudno Heritage Trail is for you both. Pick up a printed map (or use a smartphone app), and follow the story of the town’s fascinating Victorian development, copper mining legacy, and links to Alice in Wonderland.

Add stops at the Home Front Museum or the Great Orme Copper Mines for a deeper dive.

7. End with a Sunset Walk at West Shore

🌅 Where: West Shore Beach.
🚶 Perfect for: Reflection, wind-down chats, and taking it all in.

Llandudno’s West Shore is quieter than the main promenade — and faces the sunset. After a day of fun and food, it’s the perfect spot for a peaceful walk and one last chat before heading home.

Bring a flask of something hot, a blanket, and just sit. Some of the best Father’s Day moments aren’t about doing — they’re about being.
