Helen Morgan, Centre Director of St David’s Cardiff, said: “We know families in and around Cardiff are looking for fun events to keep the little ones entertained through the summer holidays, so we’re pleased to offer a free, all-weather option here at St David’s.

“We’re looking forward to seeing lots of smiling faces at the centre this summer and would remind guests they must secure tickets in advance.”
