By Butlers in the Buff · From £35pp · We come to you
Cardiff has grown into a confident hen party destination. The bay area and Pontcanna are popular bases, with good transport links from across Wales and the West of England. Our mixologists cover Cardiff, the Vale of Glamorgan and the wider South Wales area.
Cardiff has transformed into one of the UK's most exciting cities over the past two decades. The Victorian and Edwardian arcades in the city centre, the Royal Arcade, Morgan Arcade and Cardiff Market, are unique in the UK. The Bay development brought world-class architecture, waterside restaurants and the Wales Millennium Centre. Pontcanna, just north of the city centre, is Cardiff's most desirable residential quarter, tree-lined streets, brilliant cafés and a relaxed atmosphere that suits a hen party perfectly. It has a louder, more bustling vibe compared to Swansea but works beautifully alongside Bristol as a South Wales/West Country multi-city option.
