I'm putting together a map in HistoryGuesser, where you guess the year and location. Which moment in Cardiff's history would be most interesting to explore, and why?

Hoping to go to Cardiff for one night as a solo female and wanted to get some recs or advice. Coming via train and have no vehicle.
Looking at hotels near the train station - is this a bad area to be coming in/out of? I figure it would be easier to be close to the station than in the centre but have read some scary things on here.
Right now want to do Cardiff Castle and train up to Caerphilly Castle as well. I’ve also seen there’s Bonfire Night in Sophia Gardens - if I timed it for this is it worth it esp being solo?

Diolch bawb!

i was cycling around bay area (adventures quay?) today and this path appeared to be underwater? is that normal? or is it dependant on barrage water releases ?

Because of the weather I am planning on having a day of doing nothing but eating myself until oblivion. I want to try somewhere new. What's the best takeaway? Extra points if yes easy to park near!

Hello I'm a late 20s male visiting from another country till the 30th and wanted to find stuff to do and meet people! As I've come to learn this has been quite the unlucky time to come weather wise, especially without a car. Any good recommendations?

Hello, I'm searching for a soul, motown, and Rnb singer who would be interested in a weekly Friday set in a city centre location.

Im open to new starters on the scene and seasoned professionals

If interested, please get in touch here, and I'll provide an email to send showreels to.

Many thanks

Hello, currently looking for players to join a amateur rugby team based in cardiff. Good social events playing in the lowest division of the league system so no experience needed and all abilities welcome

Let me preface this by saying I’m aware that this is a stupid decision but thought I should share my experience anyway.

I (22F) work quite late shifts and normally get Ubers back home but the other night I finished earlier than normal (9:30pm) so decided to walk through Bute Park instead of spending money. I’ve done this before but obviously it’s a lot darker now we’re approaching winter.

No foot traffic at all and no lighting which I knew already. At one point I looked to the left off the path and saw the outline of someone who was just stood there next to the trees alone. *Nothing happened but it was enough to give me a reality check - could have been completely normal.

I saw 2 others walking through separately, one girl on the phone and a guy. 9:30pm honestly isn’t that late so couldn’t imagine what it must be like later on. Has anyone walked through later / experienced same thing?

Heyy! Not sure how many Age of Empires II fans are lurking in the Cardiff sub, but figured I’d throw this out there. A big tournament final for The Garrison ($46000 prizepool!) is happening on Sunday, November 29th, 2026. It's being hosted in Hamburg, but I was thinking about organising a Cardiff watch party for it (a bit like watching football in a pub, but instead, it's a medieval themed RTS from the 90s, what's not to love!).

I’m currently in the early planning stages, haven't locked down a venue just yet, so I wanted to gauge interest first to see who might fancy joining. Major details are:

• Date: Sunday, 29th November 2026
• Time: TBD (probably around 16:00~?)
• Location: TBD in Cardiff (likely a central pub , open to suggestions?)

The plan is just for a chilled hangout, good company, and some top-tier competitive medieval strategy on screen. Whether you’re a ladder grinder or just someone who enjoys watching pro AoE2, you’re more than welcome to join us.

If you'd be keen to come along, drop a comment below or shoot me a message so I can get an idea of numbers before looking at venues. Hopefully see some of you there!

Consultation on the council's proposed Workplace Parking Levy is live online. They've already had a few drop in sessions last week, looks like there's another one next Tuesday. Not sure how I feel about the idea, better than a congestion charge I guess, but not sure how this will affect small businesses 🤔

Here is Cardiff jazz singer Bella Collins & guitarist Gareth Evans at Brecon Fringe in 2015.

Really cool looking full rainbow but lasted only a couple of seconds.

Earlier, about 12.30pm, I was in Llandaff fields car park. A runner, older gentleman, ran past me and turned round twice to stick his fingers up at me and told me to ‘fuck off’. I literally have no idea what I did to infuriate him. Had absolutely no interaction with him and wasn’t in his way. If the runner in question reads this, please let me know, I’m extremely sorry to have angered you randomly so much.

Hi everyone!

I'm a first-time buyer considering purchasing a house, Pengam Green (CF24 2).

I've visited the area, but I'd really appreciate some honest opinions from people who actually live there or have lived there before.

A few things I'm curious about:

Neighbourhood: Is it generally a safe and quiet place to live?

Industrial area: I've noticed several industrial sites nearby. Any issues with noise, dust, pollution or unpleasant smells?

Safety: What's the area like in the evenings and at night?

Transport: How convenient is commuting to Cardiff city centre or Cardiff Bay?

Property value: Do you think it's a decent area to buy a home long-term? How's the resale market?

Other issues: Any problems with parking, flooding, antisocial behaviour or anything else worth knowing?

I'm mainly looking for somewhere to live rather than a rental investment, so quality of life and long-term resale potential are important to me.

Would you recommend buying in Pengam Green? Anything you wish you'd known before moving there?

Would particularly appreciate hearing from local homeowners and residents.

Any suggestion, for new area i should be exploring for freehold properties.

Cheers!

i’m planning £900 rent but looking for cheaper, £300 bills. my phone is £52 which i’m aware is way too much but can’t break the contract so have to suck it up for now. car insurance £27. spotify, amazon and disney + = £24. would like to keep these if i can. put the exact salary into a take home calculator with a 6% pension contribution and got £1,944 take home pay. can i do it? will i regret it? i’m 26 if that’s relevant at all

Does anyone know who this man is who makes spray paint art? He was on the floor outside boots today. He said his name was Gav and i really liked what he did. I got a piece from him and was hoping he had a phone or was online somewhere?

Hi all,

I have been dealing with a skin infection and with other skin issues. I have been referred to an NHS dermatologist, but the waiting times are almost 5 months at the moment.

I decided to go private, but searching online I get so many of what seem more beauty oriented skin clinics.

Any recommendations for a good private doctor/practice?

Thank you!

Coming to Cardiff before Christmas! Haven’t visited in ages, so I’m excited. I’ll be with my kids, who are fascinated by double decker buses. Does anyone know where I can catch one? Or any good journeys to somewhere fun or beautiful?

Central Cardiff ideally as we’ll be staying in Grangetown. Thanks all!

Shwmae pawb!

I've been developing a little Welsh word game called Dyfala! and I'm looking for a few more volunteers to help test it before launch.

It's a bit like Wordle, but built around Welsh vocabulary, with a new daily challenge and an Unlimited Play mode for anyone who wants to keep playing.

The idea is simple: A little Welsh. Every day.

I thought Cardiff would be a great place to ask, given the number of people learning Welsh and the growing Welsh-speaking community in the city.

I'd love feedback from people at all levels, whether you're a complete beginner, brushing up on your school Welsh, attending Welsh classes, or a fluent speaker.

I'm looking for a handful more volunteers to join our free Android beta test over the next couple of weeks.

All I'd ask is that you:

• Have an Android phone.
• Give the game a go a few times over the next two weeks.
• Let me know if you find any bugs, questionable Welsh words, or things that could be improved.

There's a simple feedback form, so nothing too demanding!

If you'd like to help, you can sign up here:

https://delivered-it.co.uk/dyfala/

I'll then send selected testers a private Google Play invitation with installation instructions.

Diolch yn fawr! I'd really appreciate your help getting Dyfala! ready for launch.
