Welcome to your weekly update...

It looks like we're in for another spell of weather, which is just as well because this is National Picnic Week - a UK-wide celebration of one of our favourite outdoor traditions! Now, we may be biased, but surely a picnic + a cycle + Taff Trail & Bute Park = the perfect day out!

Don't have time to pack a picnic? You can always buy a sandwich from our cafe and eat it on the terrace, and if money is a little tight, remember that you are welcome to use a free token from our Kindness is Priceless board.
