Following the launch of the City of Arcades campaign in July 2018, we put on a unique event – City of Arcades Day – in 2019 to maintain momentum and drive visitors to the city centre to explore what the arcades have to offer.
City of Arcades Day was held on Saturday 16th November with two weeks of activity leading up to the day. Working closely with businesses, media, partners and influencers, we were able to kick-start the Christmas shopping period in style and celebrate the seven historic arcades that make Cardiff unique.
