Cardiff Town Centre with Ian Jarvis
2023-11-22 09:00 - 17:00
Cardiff town centre Coach £26, Total £26 per person
OK – so this is the month when *whisper it* people are thinking of Christmas shopping. Not only is there a whole raft of fab shops in Cardiff, but there’s a festive market stretching through the streets, full of the sorts of unusual gifts that Ian insists on taking to Emmaus in January. We really like Cardiff. There are great restaurants; the free National Museum (including fabulous art galleries); and Cardiff Castle, a leading heritage attraction. Plus lots of other things, too! You can also get fairly easily from the centre to Cardiff Bay, which offers a whole lot more eateries, boat trips, etc.
