If you’re looking for ways to keep the kids entertained this half-term then one of our venues or facilities might have the answer... 

Here’s an idea of what's happening  across Cardiff. 

HUBS & LIBRARIES 

There’s lots of spooky goings on at our hubs and libraries over the half term holidays but there’s nothing to fear – just brace yourself for lots of fun in our free events including ‘Halloween at the Hub’, treasure hunts, pumpkin carving and many more activities throughout the week. 

All the usual favourites will be taking place too like story times and rhyme times, Read Along Club, Craft Time and Lego Club. 

Check out all the activities available at www.cardiffhubs.co.uk and remember you need to book your space at the activity you want to attend by calling your local hub. 

LLANOVER HALL

CARDIFF CASTLE

As well as the Castle itself, there are some great half-term kids activities going on that are sure to provide fun for the whole family. With it also being Halloween week, what better way to raise your spirits than by attending one of our frightfully good events at Cardiff Castle. Find out more here.

CARDIFF BAY 

A trip to Cardiff Bay is always an adventure, but why not download the Wallace & Gromit: Fix Up the City App to your smartphone and make it an Augmented Reality adventure?  

Business tycoon Bernard Grubb has commissioned the famous duo to spruce up Cardiff in time for his festival. There's absolutely heaps to do and all manner of contraptions to discover - including the colossal cleaning robot, 'Big LAD'. 

But help is at hand from BERYL, a fussy yet friendly Artificial Intelligence - perhaps she can help find Gromit, who appears to have gone walkies...
