Entertainment

Wales towns and cities are full of stuff ready to entertain you every night of the week.They  have a thriving nightlife in Wales. They have loads of places where we can meet up with friends and have a good chat or a dance. Like their city centre clubs and bars in Cardiff where you can have a drink on outdoor terraces. Or their legendary Mumbles in Swansea which offers a mile long stretch of pubs and bars along the coast.

Their Millennium Centre in Cardiff is one of the largest theatres in Europe and hosts ballet, opera, theatre and dance all under one roof. Performances in Wales aren't confined to their capital. The arts are thriving everywhere. Venue Cymru in Llandudno is a theatre, conference and arena venue with many international shows.

Like live music? Their Millennium stadium  and  Motorpoint Arena (formerly called the Cardiff International Arena) in Cardiff hosts many international tours. But they like to show off their local talent too.  Clwb Ifor Bach has hosted many Welsh acts including the Stereophonics and is a great venue for unsigned talent. They have a range of cinemas and comedy clubs across the country too.

If you feel like getting active, Wales offers plenty. Because we’re a small nation that comes equipped with mountains, hills, rivers and the sea, you can easily try whatever takes your fancy. You can do activities like fishing, cycling and mountain biking, golf and walking. There are around 200 golf courses across Wales and we played host to the Ryder Cup in 2010. They have the perfect landscape for walking and exploring.

shopping

Their favourite thing when it comes to shopping is their speciality shops and independent boutiques. They’re crammed full of local designer stock that you won’t find anywhere else.Their capital has all the big high street stores. But Cardiff likes to stand out from the crowd. You’ll see how if you explore the Victorian Arcades. There are six in total full of quirky and unusual stuff. There’s a shop that sells nothing but violins. Which is next to a surf shop. And a Welsh cheese shop.

Narberth, a town in Pembrokeshire likes to show off their local talents in their many arts and crafts shops. Their butchers are pretty good too. Andrew Rees creator of the ‘Narberth Sausage’ has won awards as the UK’s best retailer.
