In the lead up to International Women’s Day, we’re celebrating some of the incredible female-owned businesses that call the City of Arcades home 💜

From fashion and beauty to books, art and creative independents, women are shaping the unique character of our historic arcades every single day.

If you’re shopping in the city centre this IWD, why not choose to support local and shop female-owned?

✨ That’s a wrap on City of Arcades 2025 ✨

After 70 days of events, offers and unforgettable moments, our celebration of 70 years of Cardiff as the capital of Wales has come to a close.

From foodie feasts and hidden gems to arts, music, history and wellbeing, the arcades have been buzzing with energy and community spirit. None of it would have been possible without the incredible businesses, the passionate people behind them, and of course everyone who showed up, supported and celebrated every step of the way.

Cardiff’s arcades have always been special, but this campaign has shown exactly why.

It’s the people. It’s the stories. It’s the community.

Thank you for making City of Arcades 2025 one to remember. ❤️✨
