September swung around quicker than expected and now that the kids are back in school we’re getting used to normality again. It’s not all bad news though, great events keep coming to Cardiff and this week is no different, there’s loads to look forward to including the brilliant Luna Cinema, a Daft Punk orchestra and the return of last season’s heroes, the Cardiff Devils. Let’s make these last days of summer ones to remember!
Luna Cinema
What better way to end the summer than with three nights of brilliant open air cinema at Cardiff Castle? The Luna Cinema has been running for a number of years now and always promises a fantastic evening. They’re showing The Greatest Showman on 14th September (already sold out), Pretty Woman on 15th September and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets on 16th September. As usual there will be drinks available, courtesy of the Luna Bar, as well as great food stalls on-site.

Vale of Glamorgan Real Ale Trail
On Saturday an award-winning real ale trail will be taking ale fans around the countryside of South Wales on a very handy bus. Glamorgan is full of pubs where you can find great ale, but it can be hard to get from one place to another without someone driving, and nobody wants to drive when there’s ale involved. The Real Ale Trail offers you the chance to sample all of the great ales Glamorgan has to offer without having to worry about finding a lift back to Cardiff. The bus will be picking people up at Pontyclun train Station and Rhoose Train Station all day.
