Festival of the Dead comes to Cardiff - On Friday October 22nd the legendary festival of the dead rocked the house at Vale Sports Arena. The festival was a feast for the senses, with acrobats, fire breathers, dancers, stunt people and much more performing in front of a crowd, many of whom went all out for the evening, dressing as all kinds of ghouls and creatures of the night. The atmosphere was electric in the arena and it was a pleasure to see one of Europe’s greatest and most renowned festivals come to Cardiff.
