Unleash Creativity and Joy this February Half-Term at Mermaid Quay

As February approaches, families in Cardiff Bay are in for a treat! Mermaid Quay is hosting a free, five-day event called Feel-Good February, dedicated to sparking creativity and spreading joy among children. Slated for February 17 to 21, this series of drop-in craft workshops promises a colorful and engaging experience that is perfect for upbeat family bonding during the half-term break.

A Week of Fun and Creativity

The workshops will take place from 11am to 4pm each day in Unit 2 of Mermaid Quay, nestled against a vibrant backdrop adorned with balloons. Each day introduces a new theme, ensuring that young visitors remain engaged and excited about the activities. From heart-shaped flower creations to animated butterfly models, each workshop offers children a chance to explore their artistic sides while fostering a positive mindset.

Mindfulness Through Making

A highpoint of the event is the happiness jar workshop, where children can decorate jars to store notes and drawings about what makes them happy. This exciting activity encourages mindfulness and self-reflection, allowing children to create a personal keepsake that they can revisit whenever they need a boost.

Community Spirit at Mermaid Quay

Mark Lemon, Centre Manager at Mermaid Quay, captures the essence of this initiative, stating, “Our Feel-Good February workshops are designed to put smiles on faces and brighten up the half-term break.” With an emphasis on fun, creativity, and community, these workshops provide an opportunity for families to come together and make lasting memories.

In addition to the crafting activities, Mermaid Quay offers a plethora of dining and entertainment options, making it an ideal destination for a full day of family enjoyment. With over 30 restaurants, cafés, shops, and a cinema, there’s something for everyone to enjoy before or after participating in the creative workshops.

For families looking to make the most of their February half-term, Mermaid Quay is set to enhance spirits and foster creativity, providing a much-needed escape from winter's gloom.
