As a Cardiff University international journalism student, I embarked on an exciting journey through the iconic BBC Cymru Wales building, and I can’t wait to share the adventure with you.

Unveiling the BBC Cymru Wales Experience

Situated adjacent to our university’s state-of-the-art media facilities, BBC Cymru Wales emerges as a vibrant nucleus of creativity and journalistic prowess.

A Curious Student’s Quest

My curiosity got the better of me, so I decided to explore the BBC Cymru Wales building firsthand. Luckily, they offer tours to the public, and students can snag tickets for just £10. I couldn’t resist and embarked on not one, but two tours. The first was on a weekend, with fewer people around, but my burning question remained: What’s the buzz like during a typical workday?

Behind the Scenes at BBC Cymru Wales

The BBC Cymru Wales tour takes approximately 90 minutes, and a piece of advice – don’t drink too many liquids before, as there are no bathroom breaks! The friendly tour guides led us through vast studios filled with state-of-the-art cameras capable of mind-blowing augmented reality effects. Imagine walking into a world where news anchors seem to appear out of thin air – it’s a sight to behold!

And here’s a little secret: you might even bump into a familiar face, as some stars work their magic right there in the studios. I won’t spoil the surprise; you’ll have to experience it for yourself.
