Things to do on a Rainy Day in Cardiff - Gair Rhydd

When in Cardiff, you can always expect that you’ll have to face a rainy day once in a while. That’s not going to be an issue for you, however, as Cardiff offers a wide range of activities that you can do when the bad weather decides to hit. Here are a few of our favourite suggestions:

Cafes with a Twist

There’s nothing quite like a café on a rainy day, but why settle for just a cup of coffee when you can add a bit of fun into it too? For £2 per person, you can add board games to your drinks and food for an entire hour, with Chance and Counters. Alternatively, if you’re just not feeling the vibe with Chance and Counters, but still want to play some board games over coffee or drinks, head one street over where you’ll find Scaredy Cats, another board game café with a different energy.

Day Drinking Done Right

There’s nothing stopping you from getting your booze on when it’s raining, but if you’re going to get a bit of day drinking done, you might as well do it right and throw in a game or two. Luckily for you, Cardiff has a range of fun and boozy activities such as Golf Fang, Roxy Lanes, or NQ64. You can get your game on whilst enjoying some cocktails or shots and be completely out of the rain as you do it! 

Indoor Climbing

For those of you who just cannot sit still on a rainy day and need to get all of your energy out somewhere, it might be worth checking out one of the rock-climbing places in Cardiff. There are three main indoor rock-climbing venues in Cardiff: Boulders Cardiff East, Boulders Cardiff West, and Flashpoint. They’re a great way to let time slip away from you on a rainy day, whilst also getting out any of that excess energy you would have to hold in if you were to sit at home all day. 

Treat Yourself to a Spa Day

Maybe running around, drinking, and games just isn’t your vibe. Perhaps you prefer more to lie back and relax. Well, luckily for you, Cardiff is home to an astonishing number of spas, ranging from posh hotel spas to Thai or Indian ones. In Cardiff, there is always a spa for you. What better way to let a rainy day flow away than with a relaxing day at the spa. 

Hopefully, the next time it rains in Cardiff (which, let’s be honest, will probably be sometime this week), you won’t get trapped in by the rain, and can still find fun things to go out and about to do!
