Great museum, but slightly light on Anglo-Zulu War history ​Had a really good experience visiting the Royal Welsh Regiment Museum. To be honest, I was primarily lured in by the chance to see the Anglo-Zulu War history, especially given the regiment's famous connection to it. While they do have some fascinating pieces on display, I felt it didn’t dive as deeply into the overall history and context of that specific war as I had hoped. ​That being said, the museum as a whole is excellent, well-laid out, and packed with interesting military artifacts spanning a much broader timeline. Definitely worth a visit, just manage your expectations if you are going solely for the Zulu War exhibits!

A small place ,3 rooms, but full of regimental artifacts. Particularly interested in the Roakes Drift room , as one of the VC recievers lived just down the road from me in Cwmbran. Good disabled access. You can park behind Morrisons check out the town . It's a 10min walk from the centre.

We were advised about this museum by a friend and so glad we took the advice to visit. David who was in duty really looked after us and we felt so welcome and encouraged to learn about the rich history of this military unit. We were treated to a movie about their campaign in South Africa and the museum features many Honours and Awards recipients and the explanation of how they earnt their awards. A great way to learn about their military history and ably assisted by the Veterans who have served their country.

Having gone to the battlefields of Isandhlwana and the Drift etc it was my dream to complete the tour and visit the museum. Wat an awesome day out. Brecon is a beautiful town and the museum is just great. Friendly staff who were willing to interact with me and the kids had fun too

So although I'd read other reviews, I wasn't quite prepared to see so much detail about the personal sacrifices and the accounts of those family members of the fallen. The exhibits are a very visceral reminder of how tough and brutal it was to be a soldier. The medals on display are also very extremely impressive. A very interesting and fascinating experience. Also, thanks to the serving army officer who kindly took time to speak to us and offer his knowledge about the VC recipients etc. Finally, we didn't need to buy tickets in advance as it was quiet. The family ticket is good value.
