Armed Forces Day
Great opportunity to visit one of the UK’s oldest military Mess’s located in the very heart of Cardiff City Centre. Steeped in history ( 14 of the 24 Welsh VC’s were members of the Mess) and not a spare space on the walls without military memorabilia. The bar will be open from 12:00 hours and any serving or veteran personnel are welcome to visit (relevant ID to be shown on entry) free of charge. There is no dress code on the day, so come along and enjoy a day pulling up a sand bag and and reminiscing on the current / good old days.
