Boxing Day is Saturday 26 December 2026. Clubs and bars often put on Boxing Day parties, and any listed in Cardiff appear on this page alongside the rest of the Christmas season.
Listings here can include Christmas parties, festive club nights, Christmas specials of regular nights, tribute and party bands, comedy, bingo and candlelit concerts, gathered from multiple ticket sites and organisers.
December weekends sell out quickly, and many events move to higher-priced tickets as the date gets closer. Booking ahead at the original ticket source is usually worth it, especially for Mad Friday and the weekends before Christmas.
