Music
With a diverse music scene the locals are proud of, it's quite common to stay in one of the many cheap hotels in Cardiff for a night after catching a show so you don't miss out on any fun. Club Ifor Bach hosts anything from Garage DJ sets to Garage rock bands, from local heroes (Super Furry Animals) to secret shows and pre-superstardom acts (The Strokes and Coldplay). However if you want the convenience of everything under one roof, then make sure to visit 10 Feet Tall, a three story building dedicated to food, drink, relaxing and dancing.
Sport
The Welsh love their rugby and boxing, with events regularly being held in many of Cardiff's venues. Now you can add football to that list, with the Millennium Stadium being host to the FA cup and Cardiff City Football Club highly ranked in the FA's football leagues. Grab tickets to a match, stay in our nearby Cardiff accommodation and cheer as loud as the locals.
Festivals
If you missed out on a ticket to Glastonbury, don't worry;Cardiff's Glasnost Festival is a well-known alternative, showing music, art and theatre. Cardiff Hub Street Festival brings together the best of local musical talent and showcases them all over an August weekend. During a weekend in July, the Cardiff International Food and Drink Festival, takes place in Cardiff bay, where, as the name suggests, there's a mouth-watering choice of food and drink from local, national and international plates.
