- Welcome to this Llandudno in North Wales vlog, and it's not just any Llandudno vlog, it's a Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza Vlog!!
Where and what is Llandudno you may ask? Well, Llandudno is a seaside resort in North Wales, in the community of the Conwy Council Borough and located on the Creuddyn Peninsula which protrudes into the Irish Sea. Llandudno is also Wales' largest seaside resort and in as early as 1861 was being called, 'The Queen Of The Welsh Watering Places'.
Due to the poor weather forecast, the plan was to visit Llandudno and film a, 'What To Do In Llandudno In The Rain' sort of vlog, but as we've experienced many a time in Llandudno, it seems to almost have it's own microclimate and the rain didn't appear.
Ok, so what are we going to do for our Llandudno vlog now?
Well, we had heard the day before that Llandudno was hosting it's annual Victorian Extravaganza this day.
Although aware of the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza, we didn't really know what it was, so thought this would be the ideal time to check it out.
Llandudno is beautiful whenever you go, and you already feel like you are transported back in time the second you see the row of Victorian houses, you see the Victorian pier and then a Victorian tram passes you by, amazing.
So, given all of that, we decided to give this Llandudno vlog a real Victorian feel, or at least go in search of all things Victorian.
Ok, so not everything in Llandudno is Victorian, but it is so beautiful.
We took a stroll along the gorgeous Victorian Promenade, watched the procession of Road Steam Engines, checked out the Victorian styled fair rides, and watched the famous Codman's Punch and Judy show. We then took a trip on the Llandudno Victorian Trams to get to the summit of the Great Orme, where we were met with some stunning views over Llandudno and the North Wales coastline.
Little did we know at the time, we had been spotted up the Great Orme, by Yasmin from Yasmin's Hiking Mission TH-cam channel - @yasminshikingmission
We love Yasmin's videos and have been watching her channel for some time, but after receiving a message from her asking if she had just spotted us in Llandudno, then it was obvious we had to meet up with her and share a pint in a local pub.
Visiting Llandudno is always a great day out, we've done a number of vlogs from Llandudno in the past (check them out if you want), but to see the Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza was so much fun and we hope to be able to visit it again next year.
We hope you enjoy this Llandudno vlog and as we say on Postcard and a Pint - Cheers To The Good Times x

⭐ About Postcard & A Pint:
Welcome to the official Postcard & A Pint TH-cam channel.
Postcard & A Pint was thought up by my partner, Rachel & myself, Wills one day while taking our daily 1 hour exercise during the lockdown of 2020. All of a sudden, we were spending more time together, not working 6 or 7 days a week in the arts industry, and binge watching travel programs, and we were actually really enjoying it, and it made us re-evaluate what was important in life for us. Now back to working 6 or 7 days a week again, with very little time off, our happy time is getting out there on our brief times off together and making short travel videos that we are now sharing with you. It's just a bit of fun, and great for our sanity. Your support is hugely appreciated x

Enjoyed coming along with you to Llandudno, Rachel and Wills. Fun extravaganza! 1946? Seen Ringo, George, and Thomas since then. Not to mention Sir Topem Hat! Loved the train ride though Sodor. Lovely views from the top. Even the maintenance building is stunning! Loved the tour and seeing Yasmin. Thanks for bringing us along.
Thanks so much for joining us.
, it was a really fun day! Yes, up the Great Orme is beautiful, we do love it up there and to meet Yasmin too was so cool. Cheers for watching 🍻
Llandudno is my hometown. Spent my first 36 years living there and only live a 5 minute drive away now! When the Extravaganza first started it was a very authentic Victorian experience. Over the years it's become very commercialised and a far cry from its heyday. Still worth a visit though. My great grandparents are buried in the St Tudno graveyard and me and my husband had our first date in The Cottage Loaf on 21st February 2009! I really enjoyed your video so thank you.
Thank you so much. We love Llandudno and did enjoy the Victorian fair (we would love to have seen it when it was totally authentic) the road steam vehicles were absolutely amazing!! Thank you so much for watching and sharing some of your story. Cheers 🍻
That looked like a lovely day! Running into Yasmin was such a perfect cap on top of a fantastic Victorian fair day! Wish we had one of those kinds of festivals here for our Victoria Day! Thanks for taking along for such a wonderful time!
This was our first time at this Victorian festival and we loved it! Meeting Yasmin was certainly the icing on the cake! Llandudno is the perfect place for a Victorian festival with that stunning seafront. Cheers for watching 🍻
Amazing day. I love those locomotives. It was a first for me. If Wills scored the Phil Spector vinyl for less than 30 quid it was a deal. Great to be seen by another awesome TH-camr. Yasmin is the best. Have a wonderful day👍😍💞🐲
They were so cool weren’t they! Wills got that album for £10 so a bargain indeed! Cheers for joining us 🍻
Oh wow, do love to see and hear the steam power! Not closing roads...Booo to council! lol It's funny, when I think of Victorian, I see the world in black & white...very neat and so colourful! What a contrast in peace up at the cemetery...beautiful all around. Another great adventure...Bruce and Otis
Thanks guys. It was such a fun day and those road locomotives were a first for both of us. They did their road parade 2 or 3 times that day, they are magnificent! It’s always a great view from up the Great Orme and the team is definitely the way to travel! Cheers for watching 🍻
The Victorian costumes were my favourite!!
They were great weren’t they. I wish more people had dressed up though 🍻
That's amazing. It's a lovely town. Thank you my friend for sharing this wonderful video.
Thanks so much for watching. It certainly was a fun day. Cheers 🍻
What a fabulous adventure! Loved the trams and the views & drone shots were amazing!
Nice find Wills…1963 Phil Spector production! Never knew he did a Christmas album…what a creative genius he was with a tragic end!
Loved the video guys thanks for taking us along! ~Cara ❤
It was a lovely day out and totally unexpected. Wills can sniff out a Christmas album at 100 paces and that one turned out to be a bit of a bargain! Thanks so much for joining us and cheers 🍻
Loved the Victorian fair!! You being at the Welsh seaside with Victorian stuff reminded me of our time in Tenby ❤🏴
The front at Llandudno is so incredible, one of the best Victorian fronts in the U.K., so very fitting!
Helllo, Rach and Wills! Oh... I had a blast looking at this colorful and quaint Victorian Fair! I imagine how much fun you had to experience it in person!
And the train ride....just amazing as well as the views from above!
Thank you, as always for these minutes spent with you. Always a great, very great pleasure to follow you! HUGS and happy week and my huge like! Renata
Thanks so much for joining us. Llandudno is the perfect place for a Victorian day. It was a lot of fun, I think my favourite part was the tram ride up the Orme and the views from the top. We loved it. The surprise meet up with Yasmin at the end was the icing on the cake too. Cheers 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint Absolutely!! A GREAT day, guys!!
Hugs and...cheers to the good times!!😉
Brilliant one guys. You had us chuckling with your commentary. What a great day to visit. Loved the sheep especially the little brown and white one 😍 🐑
That little sheep was my favourite too! He was so happy lying in that grave, loving life. It was a really fun event and a full on day. Cheers for joining us 🍻
I love EVERTHING about this festival and the location. This will be on the list of places to visit one day and ride the tramway. Really enjoyed this video, good job! (*Oh and the candy store, ha ha!)
Thank you so much for watching. It was a really good day out. It’s a beautiful place to visit. I’m glad we’ve put it on your radar! Watch out for those rude candies!! Cheers 🍻
Love the old engines and some old dress at the Victorian Fair. I just went to Highclere Show/Fair off the M4 and enjoyed experiencing a bit of old fashion England (yes I was visiting from the US). Thanks for sharing. 👍 Hope your having some awesome adventures this weekend. Cheers to you!
Oo we’ve not heard of that one. We hope you had a brilliant time. The old road locomotives we’re new for us and we absolutely loved seeing them show in the streets. Cheers for watching 🍻
Fair area looked like tons of fun. Next time you have to try one of the wild and crazy rides. Keep up the drone flying. Sheep at the Cemetary is something we haven't seen before. So cool to have the unexpected meet up.
The big wheel was enough for me! We loved the tram ride up the Orme and the graveyard was simply stunning, sheep and all!! Cheers for watching 🍻
That is cool! Even meet up Yasmin. Hmmm so many rides 😮
It was a lovely day. Thanks so much for watching 🍻
Guys isn't St Tudnos Church so beautiful? We love this place and the Great Orme is so beautiful but we have never been on the tram in all of our years visiting family living here ! You got lovely drone footage up the Orme and around the Victorian Exttavaganza, we haven't attended that in a few years as it can get so busy so it was good to see and so funny that you met up with Yasmin . Loved that you had some puppets at the end too 🤭 👍🏴🏴~ Anna
Anna you’ve brought us to this area a few times. I remember learning about Alice in Wonderland. ~Cara 😊
@@JohnandCaraRetiredTravellers Hey Cara hope you're well, yes very well remembered. Its a special place where I've spent so many happy times 😃🏴🏴❤️
Thanks for watching. We’ve also been to Llandudno so many times and that our first time on the tram! It was busy at the Victorian fair, but we had a brilliant day. Meeting Yasmin was the icing on the cake. Cheers for watching 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint Hehe we will have to definitely go on it one day, great to see 😃
Its a beautiful and amazing view of the place The Llandudno Victorian Extravaganza thanks for sharing and touring us
Thanks so much for watching, it was such a great day. Cheers 🍻
Wills' face on the thumbnail tho 😂😂😂
To be honest we both look slightly deranged!! 🤣
Great video and great to see you meet up with Yasmin too! The tramway looked great and fantastic views from up there and the churchyard was amazing. The Traction Engines, well played to them for just driving them anyway 😂 , ignore the council.
It was such a surprise meetingYasmin, but a lovely one. We love the Orme and riding up in a tram is definitely the way to travel! Those road locomotives were something else, it was fun to learn about heir history! Thanks again for watching 🍻
Ooorr we do love Llandudno, have fond memories of past visits so loved seeing it again! Tentacled twit 😂 you guys do crack me up and always a great pleasure to watch! Fish & Chips an absolute must 👍 yep Yasmin has definitely been cloned or she has some secret teleport only she knows about! Have a great week ahead! ❤️
Well if you stick your head up an Octopus, that’s what you are! 🤣 It was such a lovely surprise to meet Yasmin, she was definitely the real one!! It was such a fun day and the perfect setting for a Victorian day. Cheers for watching 🍻
Ahh lovely 👌 Llandudno is just great .. very enjoyable thanks 👍 regards Glyn
Thanks so much for watching. Llandudno is the perfect place for this event with its gorgeous seafront. We loved those road locomotives, never seen anything like that before. Cheers for watching 🍻
Was fantastic bumping into you both it was a lovely surprise! Loved the video, you both done a great job on this edit and managed to fit lots into your day. So glad the sun came out for us all. Thanks for the drink, enjoy your next pints on me 😁 🍻
Thank you so much that is so kind! We will definitely have a drink and it will be a cheers to you!!🍻
What a fun surprise to see you there at the end, Yasmin!
@@MagentaOtterTravels 😁😁 it was a lovely surprise seeing them both! Totally unplanned.
@@yasminshikingmission what are the odds?!
So beautiful, have no words to really explain it but it is amazing and surreal! Your shots are always amazing, really love every angle you take here! This is a wonderful adventure and experience! Thank you very much for sharing this with us, enjoyed everything!❤
Thank you so much for watching and taking time to leave such a lovely comment. Cheers 🍻
An we love Llandudno, love the chip slide and they look great! You have to eat fish and chips at the seaside, thats rule number one. Love the blackpool train! The creaky wheel looked a bit hairy! Tentacled Twit! What a cracking atmosphere there! Ah the great orme tram, very classy. So,e cracking drone shots at the top. Lovely trig too. Nice k9 company on the descent. Christmas recotd, obvs. Im sure someone has cloned the lovely Yasmin, she has recently been in Cornwall, Scotland, the Lakes and now Wales. How is this possible? Was that the real Yasmin? 🧐 fantastic day out 🍻
Hahaha was it the real Yasmin???? Yes it was, it was a lovely surprise meet up! The Victorian Extravaganza was such a great event and we loved it! That big wheel was certainly more hardcore than the modern ones! We loved the tram up the Orme and it’s always fantastic to have dog company too! It was another top seaside day. Cheers and have a great week 🍻
Ooh, what a fun vintage experience! 🤗 Llandudno looked like a very picturesque historic seaside town. The views from the tram and at the summit were wonderful. Aw, loved the little lamb chomping on the grass in the grave ❤ That graveyard was spectacular - I would love to stroll around there. Haha, a good find in the record shop, Wills 👍 Great to see lovely Yasmin in the pub. Thanks for a very enjoyable video 😊
Thanks so much for watching. It was such a fun event and the perfect setting for a Victorian day. The little lamb was adorable and so content! We need to visit more of the Orme for sure. Meeting with Yasmin was an unexpected surprise, but a lovely one. Cheers for watching 🍻
What a great day out! Those restored road vehicles were fantastic, and I imagine the owners must love being able to take them out for a run on the road. The tram looked lovely, it's nice to see these heritage items all being loved and preserved.
Thanks for watching, yes those road locomotives were amazing, we’ve never seen anything like that before! It’s amazing that the tramway is still running and it’s definitely the way to travel up the Great Orme. Cheers and have a great week. 🍻
Great sharing! Bravo ! Have a perfect time. Be well.
Greetings!
Thank you so much for watching 🍻
Very interesting, have a great time.
Thank you so much 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint My pleasure
Another grand day out loved it!
Thank you so much for watching. It was a great day out. Cheers 🍻
I can't believe you found a Punch & Judy show!! I thought they were extinct!
Not at all! There are very few left, but that one is very famous. 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint very old school 😉
cool bikes there so much to see there too ah chips nice steam engine ride looks good seems you had a great time
*big like👍Au👀its a full watch💯*
Thank you so much for watching Billy, it was a fun day 🍻
Oh yes, love the views from the drone footage!
He’s getting better at it! In this weeks vid we have our favourite drone shot ever!
@@PostcardAndAPint can't wait! Where's the location?
@@MagentaOtterTravels a hill fort local to us. X
Love your enthusiasm and the great tour. Subscribed 👍
Wh thank you both so much. It was such a fun event. Welcome to the channel. We are already subs of yours 🍻
Awesome place, good weather and meeting up with a fellow TH-camr, what a perfect day. I thought those mini steam engines were pretty cool too!
Those steam engines were mental! We’d never seen anything like that - only rail locomotives. Yes bumping into Yasmin was so much fun. It was a top day out. Cheers 🍻
Just found you guys while searching for places to visit. Me and the wife love wales and you have a new subscriber. Great videos 👍
Ah thanks so much. Welcome to the channel. If you love wales - we’ve got plenty of content for you!! Cheers 🍻
This brought back such lovely memories of weekends away in Llandudno when p and i first started going out (we actually got engaged at a campsite just outside Llandudno). It is such a beautiful seaside town 🥰🌊. The Victorian fair looked like loads of fun🤩. Although we can see why it was a little different than you imagined. Crikey that ferris wheel was fast! 😳🤣 🎡. So nice to see the Pier again, i (Shell) use to be as obsessed with the grabbers in the arcade as you are with the 2p falls Rach😆👊. Poor Pete had to spend a fortune to win me a prize😆. Ah and the orme too! As usual you guys have packed pretty much everything there is to do in Llandudno into one day!🤩👍. Even managed to throw in a you tube meet up too🤗. The views from the orme are gorgeous aren't they. We didn't even know about the graveyard, how amazing is that🙏. Bonus cute dogs to pet on the tram down, and at no extra charge 🥰🐾 🚊. Right, that's it, definitely need to revisit our old haunt Llandudno soon after watching this🥰👌. Brilliant video as always Rach and Wills, great edit, great commentary, great people😊👊.
Have a lovely weekend, and sorry for the late comment, it has been one of those weeks.
Shell and Pete
Thanks guys. Ah that’s lovely to hear about your times there. It’s such a lovely place. The one thing that has eluded us on every visit is the goats!!! We’ll see them one day. You see I’ve never been a fan of those grabby things - poor Pete having to keep going til he won! We’re off to the seaside tomorrow so I’ll be packing my 2ps for sure!! The weather is amazing right now. Thanks for watching and your lovely words. Have a great weekend 🍻
How fast was that ferris wheel?!!! Not seen one go that quick before! Looked like a fabulous day, nothing nicer than chips by the sea! We've added it to our list. We will have all of North Wales on it by the time we get back to the UK. Sending a wave from Qatar 🇶🇦 ✨️
Hahah you’re going to need a month on the north wales coast alone!! It is stunning though. Thanks so much for watching. Don’t forget your coat when you’re back, it’s 21 degrees here now!! Cheers 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint think I'll have to upgrade to a better coat 🤣
Love it, Llandudno is a lovely place ❤, did either of you ever write your name in rocks at the top of the Orme? I have played the Cottage Loaf, a great venue. I also think that Tudno may be pronounced Tidno as I was interviewed by the local station which called Tudno but said as exampled, but I don't honestly know.
A wonderful post, you guys never disappoint and how lovely to have that chance meeting 😁
Like deployed 👍
Cheers for watching. We have never done the rock thing but do enjoy looking at all the names whenever we go up there. We love the cottage loaf, loved it more before the extension, but it does have a great atmosphere. You’re probably right on the Tudno debate - I believe it’s when Llandudno gets its name, so makes sense! You’re right it’s a brilliant place. We thoroughly enjoyed our Victorian day! Cheers 🍻
A Christmas album?! 😂😂😂
What else???? 🤣🤣🍻
Wow its all going on in Llandudno...
It was that day!! Cheers 🍻
Very nice....👍❤️🙋♀️
Thank you so much 🍻
absolutely love it consider us fans , subbed and likely to binge watch, very impressed if you like Victorian fayre's try Grassingham in North Yorkshire in the run up to Christmas.
Welcome to the channel. We’re glad you enjoyed it. Now that sounds right up our street, Victorian and Christmas all in one! We’ll add that to the list! Cheers for watching and once again welcome 🍻
lovely, thanks for the fun :-)
Thanks for watching 🍻
Hi there love the video keep up the good work hope you are well
Thank you so much. We’re glad you enjoyed it. Cheers 🍻
New here and excited to become apart of your community! This looks like a fun event!
Thanks so much. It was such a lovely day. We’ll worth a visit if you’re ever in Wales. Cheers for watching and welcome 🍻
I'm actually back in Wales with my video this Friday... Caerphilly! Have you vlogged there yet?
Oo enjoy! No we haven’t, it’s actually not that easy to get from north to south wales - it’s quicker to get to London!
@@PostcardAndAPint Anna was just saying the same thing!
Big like 31 👍👍👍👍
Thank you so much for watching 🍻
Is the double L in Llandudno pronounced "flan"? I know you've been there before so I should've asked then but each time I hear it I go eh?
Fabulous day Victorian day out. Whereas for those of us that actually live in the great state of Victoria every day is a Victorian day out. Except mostly it is to the supermarket. For stuff. But we do take our steam carriage shopping. And I keep my phone in my top hat. Michelle uses her brolly to poke the lads and lasses stocking the shelves to bring her her tea. And oi! Queen Vic was German so no wonder there was German sausage at your Victorian day out. Actually, when I go to the Queen Vic Market here in Melbourne, I often have a bratwurst from the purveyors of fine German sausages. Anyway, this little sausage enjoyed your grand day out what with the epic drone shots and trams and spinny stuff. Very very cool!
Cheers Shane - here’s how to pronounce the welsh LL - smile with your mouth open, put your teeth together, push your tongue against the back of your teeth, hiss like a dragon! Done!!
Yep it was a great Victorian day, how lucky you are to live like this everyday!! To be fair, if the Germans were in charge here, trains would A - run on time and B be affordable (spot the country with a train strike today!!), but whatever you can’t beat a bit of German sausage whatever the occasion! Thanks for joining us, spinny stuff, trams and locomotives and all. Cheers 🍻
@@PostcardAndAPint So I tried pronouncing the Waleish LL and spat all over my monitor. If I ever need to talk to someone in Welsh they should have an umbrella 😁
@@ShaneNixonFamily excellent work! You’re doing it right, you just need to practise! Here’s one of my favourite Black Adder scene ever!

@@PostcardAndAPint 🤣😂😅
Never surpassed. Black Adder was the best!
Hello sister, it must be a very stressful day.
It was a really fun day! Cheers 🍻
