What it’s like
A heated Spiegeltent hosts festive shows and tribute gigs in Cardiff, from Queen tributes to family-friendly theatre.
This is a season of seated shows in a heated tent rather than a drop-in market. The programme mixes family-friendly theatre and festive productions with live music, and the one price we can point to, £42.50 for The Bohemians doing Queen, tells you this leans toward evening entertainment for grown-ups as much as festive fun for the kids. Check what a specific show is before you book if you want something for the children, since the site says age guidance varies by listing.
Every seat is allocated at the time of booking, so you are not queueing for a spot on the night, and tickets just need to be on your phone. The venue itself is properly kitted out: step-free access, an accessible toilet and disabled parking right next to the car park.
Food and drink come from the on-site marquee, with a casual festive menu, a full bar and vegetarian options (vegan and gluten-free are more limited and vary by night). You can take what you buy on site into the Spiegeltent, but outside food and drink is not allowed in, which stings a bit if you had a flask of something planned. Booking two or more shows in one order gets you 10% off, which is worth knowing if you fancy making a night of it with more than one performance.
Refunds are not on offer if you change your mind, only an exchange for another festival show, so pick your date with some care.
