You are welcome to attend the Senedd building to observe Plenary in the Siambr, which is the Senedd's debating chamber. The Public Gallery is fully accessible: including a space for wheelchairs, the live broadcast of the session is viewable on a screen immediately in front of you, and an audio feed is available with headsets provided.
Plenary is the full meeting of all 60 Members of the Senedd, which takes place in the Siambr and online on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons. Plenary begins at 13.30 and finishes at 17.00 although this can sometimes vary.
You can find out what will be discussed in Plenary by viewing the Plenary agenda for that meeting. Copies will be available at the information desk. For further information and enquiries please contact us.
