This beautiful theatre within Cardiff is bursting with culture. Everytime I have been there to see a play, it has felt so special because of the whole vibe you get from the place. The traditional feel is brilliant, with all staff in uniform and very professional ice-cream people in the breaks! :) I used to visit there annually to see the pantomime, and as soon as you walk through the doors you forget that you have just stepped off the bustling streets of Cardiff because the look of the place is outstanding. Also, there are function rooms which can be hired for birthday parties (with a bar!) which are great for any event!This beautiful theatre within Cardiff is bursting with culture.

St Davidâ¬"s Hall opened in Cardiff in 1982 â¬ a 200 seat concert hall set right in the middle of Cardiff. It hosts everything from rock concerts, orchestral concerts, Cardiff singer of the world, ballet performances, plus gamelan, the reduced Shakespeare Theatre company, and free lunchtime concerts - in fact there is something on almost every day of the week. They advertise most of the evening concerts several months in advance - and if you want to go to any of the really big name events, it is worth becoming a 'friend' of the place so that you get advance ticket informaiton and availability!

There is not only the concert space â¬ there are two bars where you can have a relaxing drink, or something to eat in the restaurant, exhibition spaces for local and national artists.

We tend to pop in quite oiften and have a look at what the various exhibition is, and maybe have a coffee, rather than go to the evening shows. It is really easy to get to, since it is right in the middle of Cardiff.

The UCI cinema in the Red Dragon complex is both great and dire. The great things about it are the kids club weekend and holiday prices are excellent, also bags are not searched for hidden food (as happens in some cinemas). There are 12 screens and you may sit anywhere as long as you've paid for it (GALLERY SECTION IS MORE EXPENSIVE AND NOT WORTH THE MONEY IN MY OPINION). Cinemas are always clean and tidied up after each showing. Sound and picture quality is wonderful.

The dire point...The cinema food, but hey everyone knows this so just "be prepared"The UCI cinema in the Red Dragon complex is both great and dire.
