Happy May half term everyone! We hope that you’re excited for a well earned rest, and that you have lots of lovely things planned… or maybe you’re planning on just sleeping for the week - and we wouldn’t blame you! If you are looking for inspiration for things to do this week, then we’ve got you covered. Here’s our guide to what’s on in South Wales this half term:

Cardiff Castle Jubilee Celebration Concert - Saturday 4th June 2022

We’re being treated to a 4-day weekend over half term (woohoo!) to celebrate the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, and Cardiff Castle is hosting a Jubilee Concert to celebrate. On Saturday 4th June, the day will kick off at 3:30pm with performances from artists such as Bonnie Tyler, followed by a live stream of the concert taking place at Buckingham Palace at 7pm. If you find yourself in Cardiff this weekend, this event is not to be missed. https://www.liveunderthestars.wales/event/cardiff-castle-jubilee-celebration-concert/

The Big Retreat - Friday 3th - Monday 6th June 2022

Fancy the weekend away? How about trying something new and heading over to The Big Retreat in Pembrokeshire? Offering both weekend and day tickets, this festival is all about wellness, offering activities for all the family such as yoga, paddle boarding, arts & crafts, food & drink and live music.

Here’s hoping we have some nice weather to enjoy over May half term, but either way, we hope that you have a fantastic week! We’ll be in the office Monday 30th May - Wednesday 1st June 9-4, and then after the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee weekend, we’ll be back as normal on Monday 6th June when the schools reopen.

See you soon, and happy half term!
