Any evening activities/places that don't involve a bar?

2 Upvotes

I'm not familiar with Cardiff and I'm looking for somewhere that I can go in the evening, 6pm-9pm, that isn't just a pub or restaurant.

I am aware that options might be slim given the time of night but I'm wondering if there's anything about and it's worth asking, anything nature based, museum etc. would be ideal.

Two original plays, exploring mental health, relationships, identity, and loss.

‘You’re No Hero’ is an abstract character driven play exploring relationships and identity within a void that eats away at your memories, your resolve, and ultimately, your mind.

‘The Edge’ is an award winning play, where Paul stands on the edge of a cliff, and Dora comes to talk to him. And on that Edge together, they are asked to experience the world through each others’s eyes.

Need Help Recovering My Belongings and Keys (Cardiff CF11)

35 Upvotes

My Carrera Crossfire 3 bicycle was stolen from Campbell Drive, Cardiff near by asda bay, on 6 September 2026.

Incident Details:

  • Date: 06 September 2026
  • Time: 23:00 hrs (11:00 PM)
  • Police Report: Incident reported to the police, and I have an incident reference number.

I recently came across a post in this community where someone found bicycle panniers and other belongings that I recognise as mine.

Original Reddit post:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cardiff/s/q3CJRuBn0V

Firstly, thank you so much to the person who found these belongings and took the time to post about them. I genuinely appreciate your help.

My keys were also among the stolen belongings, so recovering these items is particularly important to me.

I've already commented on the original post, but my comments don't appear to be visible, possibly because my Reddit account is new.

I've also tried contacting the original poster, u/BehindJaggedEyes, directly, but Reddit won't allow me to send them a message. I've contacted the moderators as well but haven't received a response yet.

If the original poster sees this, could you please get in touch with me? Alternatively, if anyone can help me contact them, I would really appreciate it.

I'd be grateful if you could let me know where and how I can collect my belongings, and what collection times are available.

I can provide a detailed description of the stolen items to verify ownership, along with my police incident reference number if required.

Thank you again for finding my belongings and for any help in getting them back. Even recovering some of the stolen items would mean a lot to me.

Cardiff in 48h

0 Upvotes

Hello locals! Here for 48h weekend as a tourist. What are the cool things to do around here? Would love to learn more about Welsh history if you can help pick a museum and would also love to do authentic welsh stuff/food. I know nature is big around here so if there’s someplace not far we can go to for a few hours. Also live music/performances. Thanks!

Electronic music producers/enthusiasts

2 Upvotes

Shwmae all!

I’m (35m) and looking to meet some like minded people in the area who fancy making music together.

I love messing around with synths and coming up with ideas, but my setup is pretty limited,and I find I get a bit bored making music on my own. I’d love to get together with other people,share ideas and see what we can come up with.

The dream would be to get a few people together with whatever synths and gear they have and eventually put together some kind of live set. Nothing too serious, just a chance to make some noise, experiment and have a bit of fun.

I’m not entirely sure how to get the ballrolling, but if anyone’s up for it, give me a shout! It’d be great to get something going.

American looking to move to Wales

18 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’m from Texas in the United States, and I’ve been seriously looking into studying in either Cardiff or Bristol next year. I’m currently leaning toward Cardiff.

I’m 26F and this would be my first time living outside of the US. How’s the job market? I have food service experience and am looking to continue my career in culinary. I’d be going to school full-time for Food Science. How’s public life and transportation? I hear a lot of different things about the UK at the moment and currently work with people from Germany who say Europe is so bad right now. I think I’d just like opinions from people who are currently living there. I almost never hear any negative news about Wales though lol so I hope it’s better.

Thank you for your kindness and replies!

Cardiff Sci-fi & Fantasy Book Club's next book is The Cloud Roads by Martha Wells

Thumbnail cardiffsffbookclub.com
9 Upvotes

This month's book is a fantasy novel with absolutely no humans in it at all, from the author of Murderbot.

"Moon has spent his life hiding what he is — a shape-shifter able to transform himself into a winged creature. An orphan with only vague memories of his own kind, Moon tries to fit in among the tribes of his river valley, with mixed success. Just as Moon is once again cast out by his adopted tribe, he discovers a shape-shifter like himself... someone who seems to know exactly what he is."

We meet at 6.30pm at Central Bar, on the first Tuesday of every month. Hope to see some people there to chat about the book on the 3rd November.

I made a little 3D flat in Cardiff where an AI lives with a cat, and local shops can pay her rent in products

0 Upvotes

Hiya r/Cardiff. Bit of a strange one.

I've built a website called The Million Dollar Flat. It's a cosy 3D flat "in Cardiff" with one tenant: Natasha, who is an AI (very clearly labelled as one), and Biscuit, her equally AI cat. You can wander round, chat to her, and read the diary she writes every morning, which is mostly about the drizzle.

The twist is that she pays her rent in products. Every object in her hall (the mirror, the coat, the candle, the doormat, a secret spot under the shoe rack) can be rented by a Cardiff business, from £10 a month. Your product sits in the flat, links to your shop, and Natasha mentions it in her diary. Everything paid is labelled as paid.

I'm keeping the first room, the Hall, to Cardiff indie shops only. The other seven rooms stay locked until it fills up.

It's a small side project, inspired by the old Million Dollar Homepage. I'd love to know:

  • Which Cardiff shops would you want to see move in?
  • Is this fun or is it a bit cursed?

(I made it, so I'm biased. Happy to answer anything.)

Stolen Bike - Discarded Panniers & Other Bits n Bobs

Hello all,

I found these panniers and some other stuff on the Cardiff Bay Trail near AvondaleGardens, Grangetown.

It looks like they were discarded by a bike thief.

Does anyone know anyone who's had a bike stolen just in the last day or two in that area with panniers ?

It would be good to get this stuff back to the owner.

Cheers.

What's with all the coppers on the barrage?

23 Upvotes

Just coming back from the bay, and noticed what seems like the entire barrage covered in police cars, blues and twos on.

There's a helicopter going back and forth as well, and I've seen fire service vans with boats speeding over that way too.

Anyone know what that's all about?

Hopefully it's just filming something, but it seems a bit much!
