The Live Lounge is a lively Cardiff music bar with live performances kicking off from midday, so it's an easy spot to catch some music without splashing out. There's outdoor seating too, handy if you want a bit more space. Worth knowing it leans into the late-night crowd, with DJs running until the early hours.

The secret to a calmer meal out? Something to do that isn't a phone. Each pack is full of screen-free bits and bobs to keep little hands busy at the table and buy you a proper sit-down. Three printable packs, one for each age (toddler, preschool, primary) — free, straight to your inbox.
