Does anybody know if there are any tickets for free rides at Cardiff's Big Weekend? My MIL seems to think they give them out to schools.

    I think they do. Charities get them too, you could try your local councillor as well.

    I live in Blackwood and we get free tickets to rides at the Big Balloon festival every year. Handy cos they cost a fortune when you've got kids!!!!

    Perhaps they do similar in Cardiff?? Maybe check with the council?? :confused:

    We are in North Cardiff and my children didn't come home with any money -off vouchers, wish they did! BUT if there are any vouchers around I'm also interested!

    Are you sure that's not compensation for having to live in Blackwood :rotfl:
