We hope you'll make a weekend of it as there's plenty to see and do in Cardiff Bay , the vibrant waterfront area of Cardiff.

Programme

Friday 3rd Feb

Saturday 4th Feb

Sunday 5th Feb

Suggested activities for Saturday afternoon

Walk or Cycle the Cardiff Bay Trail, and boat trip

Walk across the Barrage, taking in the Age of Coal and Captain Scott exhibitions, then either hop on a boat trip up the Taf and back to Mermaid Quay, or continue on round the trail for the full 10km. Or just take a boat trip from Mermaid Quay.

Visit the Pierhead, Senedd and Norwegian Church

All within a short walk of each other, the Pierhead  is a historic building with Welsh history exhibitions, the Senedd is a striking modern building, and the Norwegian Church  an arts centre with a Roald Dahl exhibition. Free.

Cardiff International White Water 

Go across to the other side of the bay and try White Water Rafting or Indoor Surfing. Prices from £25, better in a group.

The Doctor Who Experience 

Housed in a specially constructed facility in Cardiff Bay's Porth Teigr - a stone's throw from the BBC studios where Doctor Who is filmed - the Doctor Who Experience offers a unique, exciting and sometimes scary journey into over fifty years of adventures in space and time. The Doctor Who Experience gives visitors the opportunity to get even closer to the iconic TV show and to star in their very own Doctor Who adventure! Cost £16 adult, slightly cheaper in advance

Where to stay

Rates are for B&B as at 1 Nov but rates and availability may well vary.

Note: the Yacht Club is not within walking distance of the hotels as it's the other side of the bay. So if you're coming by train, please let me know so that I can arrange a lift to/from the club.

Parking

There's free parking at most of the hotels, and short term parking on many of the roads. The most convenient long term parking is the Pierhead St multi-storey, behind the Millennium Centre: £4/day at weekends, more on weekdays.

There's free parking at the Yacht Club.

Thanks.
