Cardiff has the elements that you associate with a major city and Christmas, a big wheel, ice rinks, Christmas lights and a festive market. However, what differentiates Cardiff and puts it on a par with other European capital cities?
We want Cardiff to have the confidence of our competing capitals, and to do that we will invest in bringing a world first Christmas experience to Cardiff.
This experience would be installed for a couple of months, to ensure that footfall would be consistently high, rather than having a burst of activity over a day as Cardiff has done in the past.
It will also bring the profile that Wales’ capital deserves for our Christmas offering.
For Christmas 2022, we installed a light and sound installation in St John’s Gardens called the Light of Winter or Goleuni’r Gaeaf in Welsh. The free family-friendly experience was open from November to February 2023 and was promoted by Strictly Come Dancing star Amy Dowden and her partner Lloyd Griffiths.
