Summer is here, well more or less (unpredictable weather!). Although I am sure that you are going to have some free time to have a sneak peak around the city. As the summer time is very exciting in Cardiff we make a list of the most famous festivals that might take place just behind your house or on the corner with your favourite place.
I guess that one of the most famous festivals and probably also most visited is the Food and drink festival that take place in Cardiff Bay through the whole weekend (I know! Loads of food for the three days!).
Well I am pretty sure that you will be able to find a festival that will suit you best and possibly we might bump into each other at some point!

In the summer months, Cardiff Bay is a lovely spot to sit back, relax and enjoy the soothing sounds of the sea. However, for one weekend in July, the soft swish of the waves won’t be the only thing you’ll hear – instead, the sound of 60,000 food fans chatting away while they try and buy top local grub will fill the bay, as the annual Cardiff International Food & Drink Festival arrives for a weekend of eating, drinking, live music and entertainment. There is plenty of opportunity to sample and buy some of the best farmhouse cheeses, artisan breads, handmade chocolates and specialist liqueurs to name a few.

Join The Lord Chamberlain’s Men in Cardiff Castle this summer for Shakespeare’s sparkling, battle‐of-‐the-sexes comedy, Much Ado About Nothing. Triumphant in battle, Don Pedro and his men return to Messina. The Governor, Leonato, toasts their success by throwing a masquerade ball where well–‐intentioned plots and evil schemes abound as enemies deceive lovers and friends trick friends in this lively summer comedy.
Locked together in a ‘merry war’ Benedict, a confirmed bachelor and Beatrice, an avowed maid are resolutely set against marriage. However, their friends have a plan. Their ‘will they, won’t they’ relationship is one of Shakespeare’s funniest and most famous love stories. “They never meet but there’ s a skirmish of wit between them!”
Bring a chair and a picnic and spend a glorious summer’s evening watching this funny, moving and fast-paced production of one of Shakespeare’s best‐loved comedies.
Performed in the open air, by an all-male cast with Elizabethan costume, music and dance, this is undoubtedly one of the hottest tickets of the summer.
