Events not to be missed:

Don't miss the St David's students lock-in! Occuring on various dates throughout the year the lock-in offers students the chance to shop till you drop with huge savings and discounts, all in the space of one evening.

Cardiff Summer Festivals
The summer in Cardiff is jam packed and weekend events tend to involve plenty of food and live music. Watch out for the free Cardiff Festival which draws in thousands of people every summer. Events include The Cardiff International Food & Drink Festival, Cardiff Multicultural Mela, The Big Weekend - free music concert, the Cardiff Harbour Festival and LGBT Mardi Gras. All of these free events do not disappoint.

Christmas Festivities
What better way to celebrate the Christmas festivities than to be in the capital, Cardiff. Get yourselves and your friends down to Winter Wonderland where you can skate in the open air ice rink. And don't forget the annual Christmas lights switch on where there are special guest appearances, christmas music and fireworks.
