Here are Urban Social’s Top 5 Picks for first date ideas in Cardiff…
Head to Bute Park
Cardiff has some wonderful parks and the best news is that they are right in the heart of the city. Head to Bute Park where you can enjoy a romantic walk though the “Green Heart” of Cardiff and take in a mix of historic landscapes, woodlands, a arboretum and a river walk. There’s also 3 cafes if you need to stop off for a cuppa. In the summer months then it’s a great place to take a picnic and spend the day lazing in the sunshine underneath the gaze of the historic castle.
Get in touch with your inner geek:
Bit of a sci-fi fan? Well head to Cardiff Bay for the Dr Who experience where you can unleash your inner geek and also have a bit of fun at the same time. The Dr Who experience is an interactive, multi-sensory space with exhibits on show icons, props and costumes, plus film clips. So all in all, a good day out.
Cardiff Castle
Cardiff Castle is a medieval castle and Victorian Gothic revival mansion located in the city centre of Cardiff, Wales. The original motte and bailey castle was built in the late 11th century by Norman invaders on top of a 3rd-century Roman fort. So if you love a bit of history get yourself to the castle where for just £12 you can spend the entire day exploring the grounds. Also, keep an eye on the website where you’ll find lots of fun activities and events going on such as concerts, live theatre and other treats to keep your date entertained.
Chapter Arts
Chapter Arts Centre in Canton (Just 10 minutes from the city centre) is a hub for all things entertaining. Whatever you’re in to, you can find it in Chapter. They have a great bar/cafe area that serve a variety of drinks from coffee to cocktails and the food is impressive. The centre also houses a cinema and various performance spaces where you can catch a play or an exhibition.
Head To The Bay
Where to start when it comes to Cardiff Bay. Taking your date to Cardiff Bay can give you a whole host of things to do. From hitting up one of the bars to having a long, lazy lunch in one of the many restaurants. There’s also a theatre, comedy club and cinema. And when you’ve had enough of eating and drinking then you can take a long walk around bay taking in the sights.
