What it is

Six Nations at the Principality Stadium explained

Two or three Saturdays a year the city centre becomes one stadium approach — male voice choirs in the pubs and 74,000 singing under a closed roof.

Dates can shift by a day or two when a local council moves the programme to a weekend, so confirm with the town hall before booking non-refundable travel. Accommodation in Cardiff & the Gower tends to sell out weeks ahead of the festival and prices rise sharply on the main night.
