Events

City of Arcades 2025 is a vibrant experiential and digital celebration marking 70 years since Cardiff became the capital of Wales. Over 70 exciting days, from the 5th September to the 14th November, the city will come alive with events, activities, special offers, and fun for all ages.

The celebration is built around five fortnightly themes — Foodie, Discovery, Arts & Music, History, and Health & Beauty — each shining a spotlight on the very best of what Cardiff has to offer.

From bustling food markets and creative upcycling workshops to bread baking sessions and a fascinating time travellers trail, there’s something for everyone to explore, enjoy, and be part of.
