Beats, bites and bright lights as historic Market transforms into Cardiff Music City Festival Night Market

Cardiff’s historic Central Market will transform into a vibrant, music-filled night-time destination as part of the Cardiff Music City Festival, with a free, open-to-all night market taking place during the Sŵn Festival weekend (Thursday 16th – Saturday 18th October).

For three special evenings only, the Grade II listed Victorian market will come alive after its usual opening hours, welcoming visitors to enjoy a unique cultural experience that blends music, food and art, under its iconic glass roof.

This exciting event invites festival-goers and curious passers-by to dip in and out of Sŵn and other Cardiff Music City Festival events, creating a fluid, festival atmosphere in the city centre.
