Christmas

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.

Please direct any questions about this project to Carolyn Brownell carolyn@forcardiff.com.
