Cardiff’s Lesbian and Gay Mardi Gras is an annual summer event that takes place in Cooper’s field, Bute Park. It is colourful and lively and draws an increasingly large crowd every year. The main stage is the centre of the activity as it plays host to some of the UK’s biggest names in pop. For those who enjoy dance there is an especially dedicated dance tent and for the more light-hearted there is the cabaret tent. There are numerous market stalls selling a variety of items ranging from badges and jewellery to items of a more sexual nature. Just don’t forget your rainbow flag!
