What are YOU doing this weekend then, eh? We’ve got a couple of Cardiff picks for the weekend if you’re searching for inspiration. If there’s anything else on that we’ve missed, please comment below!
Cardiff Food Festival – Cardiff Bay, Friday Saturday and Sunday. GO EAT SOME CHEESE! Event info here
Roath Rec World XI exhibition ends this Sunday 13 July
Cardiff photographer Dan Green has had a great exhibition of international footballers up in the Roath MADE gallery for the past couple of weeks. And when we say international, we mean the people who play Sunday leagues at Roath rec. They come from all over! It’s a great exhibition and MADE (formerly Milkwood) is a lovely venue, so make sure you go and see the exhibition before it ends this Sunday.

Going out raving? Pubbing? Clubbing? Maybe a little bit of bubbling?
If you want to go and chew your face off all weekend, then there’s a great little festival happening in Pembrokeshire called Tribe Festival. Fingers crossed the weather holds!
If you’re out on Friday night, then The Lady Rave have got Sian Evans from Kosheen (I know! remember them??) playing at The Moon.
If you fancy going out on Saturday night, we suggest either Instructions & Blood Club at the Lansdowne or Twisted by Design at Dempseys.
Then on Sunday, OF COURSE, get yourself over to The Gower pub in Roath for Sweet Baboo’s show, part of a Mini UK ‘Test Pressings’ Tour celebrating the release of ‘The Marc Riley BBC Sessions’ in July 2014. The party also features:
Skittle alley
Beer garden
Record stall
DJs
Fun
World Cup Final
Boom!
And then finally, on Monday night (and who said Mondays shouldn’t count as the weekend, eh?) git yoself some culture and head to Gwidihw at 7pm for a poetry reading, where Bill Trub will be reading from his debut book, All Men Are Afraid.
