“I love training at SOS! There’s a great sense of community and since joining back in May 2025 I have gained so much strength back and my fitness is improving every week. Team training on Saturday mornings is so much fun! My lifestyle coach Cole does a great job keeping me on track with my training and nutrition which really helps when I’m having a bad week. He’s given lots of little tips that makes staying on track a lot easier.”

“I cannot recommend The Swing Project highly enough - Jessie and Benjie are brilliant teachers and have an amazing knowledge of swing dancing styles which they break down into manageable lessons for learning dancers - they also know loads about the music scene and history that shaped this dance movements, you get so much more than just the steps at their classes! The Swing Project community is a beautiful part of the Cardiff social scene - really welcoming, with lots of events and ways to meet people! Super friendly for beginner dancers too :)”

“I have been going to TAI CHI in Rhoose for 6 years and it is very beneficial to my well being as well as been fun and a way to meet like minded people .We are a very friendly group under the guidence of Emma so come along and join us.”

“Cant recommended fluidity enough! Since joining around a year ago the lads there have gone above and beyond for myself and my son. My boy looks forward to his weekly sessions! Top lads, best environment.”

“Ten theater was absolutely stunning! I mentioned how much of an art work the theater was to a staff member and they were kind enough to give me a brief history on it. The auditorium is massive and I did hear someone mentioned how they were far away but that they felt as if they were close.”

“First visit to the Playhouse. 10/10 - comfortable seats, very informal, great sound and lighting. Loved Emilio ❤️ Can’t wait to return and wish all theatres were like this.”

“Excellent theatre, staff friendly and helpful, relaxed environment. Fantastic performance, thoroughly enjoyed. Well worth a visit or two.”

“I have had an excellent experience with Ignite performance academy. I have had two castings in my first week joining and am very excited for what the future holds. Having had several agents in the past, I can truly say that Ignite are the most efficient, friendly and best agency I have experienced. I highly recommend them.”

“Wow! fantastic re launch, fresh and clean with smiles everywhere from staff and patrons, great service and great entertainment with a very positive outlook, keep on with the great work.”

“I have had the best time at pole twisters! I started with a taster class at the end of 2023 and loved it so much I signed up to level 1 classes as my New Year’s resolution. My first class I was quite shy, wearing a baggy tshirt and not very confident. Fast forward a few months I have a confidence and positivity I never knew I had strutting around in a miniskirt and 6inch heels. My strength has increased and most importantly I am having the most fun. I can’t thank my instructor David enough for helping me grow and learn to love myself. Pole has been more than a way to get fit and has become the most positive and supportive environment ever.”

“Me and my dad went just for the gallery and we absolutely loved and analyzed the current exhibition. We really like what the artists were expressing and felt the difficulties endured by those immigrant women. It was thought provoking. We got a pleasant and interesting visit. I recommend this place especially if you're into modern art.”

“Wonderful entertainment from talented youth theatre kids in a production of Emil and the detectives. Applause also for the talented teachers who nurture the children and bring out their best. Thank you.”

Main points: - Good location with ample parking - Great size space with high ceiling to accommodate bouncy castle etc - No shortage of tables and chairs - Good sized, usable kitchen with hatched into main hall - Clean toilets - VERY reasonably priced In addition to the above, Jon was a pleasure to deal with from booking trough to packing up.

“Amanda has looked after Autumn for us on a couple of occasions and I know that she is having the best time and lots of fun with their dog and also the dogs which Amanda walks regularly. I receive lots of videos and photos and reports of how she is doing and I can totally relax being away knowing Autumn is having the best time! When she comes back home, she is shattered and I think she is probably really missing Coco and the fun of their home’. Highly recommend!”

“My 12 yr daughter has enjoyed learning to dance with Caroline since she was 4 years old. Caroline is an excellent and kind teacher, adjusting and supporting to the dancer, to help them progress and have fun! Highly Recommended”

“A great dance school with all genres of dance offered by friendly, qualified staff. Many opportunities available to the children including exams, dance competitions, workshops and a whole school show. My children have flourished here and made great friendships along the way.”

“DJ Alex from SGDJs was incredible! We had an enormous amount of compliments about him from our guests and the two of us were thrilled with the music. He had such a good instinct for what the people wanted and managed to weave our requests in seamlessly, including the Welsh Language ones! June was extremely communicative beforehand and went above and beyond, including coming to set up the lights and speakers the day before.”

“Hi all, just wanted to report back on my experience with the course I won with the Dog Business School. I found the course really helpful! It was beautifully presented, not just your standard sit there and read it, it had little quizzes, links to relevant information, flash cards, videos and pictures throughout to keep it varied. As you all know, it can be a bit daunting setting up a business, but this course has made me feel a lot more confident as it laid out step by step the things I need to put in place. Would highly recommend for new starters!”

“My daughter has been going to Cast for 4 years now and she still loves it. She has been given some amazing opportunities to play some fantastic parts. The productions Cast put on are always very professional and the children are all fabulous. They also provide and make all the costumes themselves. I can't fault Cast and the whole team, they are all very friendly and approachable.”
