GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY

Leave your car at home and relax on the tracks, as you make your way to the Welsh capital from your nearest Great Western Railway station. Your outward travel, arriving at Cardiff Central, will be on Saturday 17 December, with the return journey on Monday 19 December.

Did you know that GWR runs intercity train services along the South Wales mainline to Cardiff Central station? Travel from Swansea, London Paddington, Bristol and from stations across the Southern England rail network.

VOCO® ST DAVID’S CARDIFF

Spend two nights, bed and breakfast, at the voco® St. David’s hotel in the stunning, waterfront location of Cardiff Bay. Because enjoying yourself is bound to build up an appetite, a meal at the hotel’s brand-new restaurant, Tir a MĂ´r, is also included.

As one of Cardiff’s most luxurious hotels, voco® St. David’s is a destination that combines unrivalled five-star service with a tranquil bay-front location, jaw-dropping architecture, an award-winning spa and delicious, locally sourced food. A stay at voco St. David’s makes for a truly unforgettable festive stay in the Welsh capital.

THE CLUB HOUSE

The festive season is fast approaching and it’s time to celebrate, so prepare to get in the Christmas spirit Club House style. At Cardiff Bay’s latest nightspot, you can dig into some delicious food and drink, immerse yourself in live music, then maybe hit the dance floor and keep the party going.

Sit down to a three course Christmas meal, you’ll find something for everyone on a menu filled with seasonal delights and well-loved festive favourites. Nothing says Christmas like a festive tipple, so our winner will be treated to a welcome cocktail and a bottle of wine as well.

CARDIFF’S WINTER WONDERLAND

Get your skates on at Winter Wonderland’s undercover ice rink in the spectacular setting of Cardiff Castle. Once you’ve found your feet, glide around the grounds along the magical 150m Ice Walk; a fantastic festive experience set against the backdrop of the iconic Norman Keep.

Later, head across the road to City Hall lawn where you will chill-out (quite literally) at Winter Wonderland’s sub-zero Ice Bar. Everything is made of ice, including the walls and glasses, so you can impress your friends with snaps of this seriously cool hotspot.

CHRISTMAS AT BUTE PARK

Check out Wales’ largest ever festive lights trail, Christmas at Bute Park, is back for a second year after its triumphant debut in 2021. The 1.4 km trail meanders through the beautiful city-centre park and is set to shine even brighter than before, with several exciting new displays.

Look out for the magical Light Canyon, awash with a thousand mesmerising stars, an epic light orb of iridescent colour, and a hypnotic laser journey passing beneath a lake of lights, creating a Liquid Sky.
