Ice Skating Rink: 11th November – Early 2011
Really get into the Christmas mood with a bit of ice skating! For the first time ever, Quakers Friars will become home to an ice skating rink where people can skate to their heart’s content.
The rink is made using synthetic ice and uses less power than conventional ice rinks, making it an eco-friendly rink.
Cardiff Christmas Market – 4th and 5th December
Cardiff: the Welsh capital and home to the Millennium Stadium as well as shed loads of cultural and recreational landmarks and attractions (and yes, that does include lots of clubs and pubs as well!).
For the first time ever, Cardiff will be home to an official Christmas market located on Cardiff Bay where stallholders will sell handcrafted goods and edible pleasures.
The market will coincide with the switching on of Cardiff’s Christmas lights and to truly get the party started the event will also include fireworks and fairground rides: a fun day out for all members of the family!
The Cardiff Christmas market and festive celebrations will kick off on Saturday 4th (December) at 12.00 noon and run until 8.00pm. The celebrations will continue on Sunday 5th at 11.00am until 5.00pm.
