🎳 GAME ON, CARDIFF! Lane7 is coming to the city… and there’s FREE bowling up for grabs! 👀🔥

Cardiff’s nightlife is about to get a serious upgrade as Lane7 prepares to open its brand-new venue on St Mary Street on Friday 18 September.

Taking over the former Par 59 site, the new entertainment bar is bringing much more than bowling to the city centre. Expect six immersive bowling lanes alongside tech shuffleboard, big putts golf, private karaoke rooms, b**r pong, pool, interactive darts, live sport, cocktails and plenty of food for sharing. 🎤🎯🍹⛳

And there’s a pretty good reason to get in early…

🎳 Lane7 is giving away FREE bowling for groups of up to four during its opening Baller Week, running from 18–24 September.

Bookings are already LIVE - but how do you claim the free games?

✨ Exciting News - A New Chapter for Local Link Magazine! ✨

I’m so excited to finally share some wonderful news… 💛

After many years of growing Local Link Magazine, I’m delighted to welcome Jonathan Thomas and Parker Chaney Davies as partners, with Jonathan now taking over Cardiff North Magazine.

Jonathan and I have known each other for years, so this feels like a really natural next step. I know the passion and care he brings to everything he does, and I’m so excited for what’s ahead.

Most importantly… it’s business as usual! 😊

If you already advertise with us, nothing is changing. Your bookings, artwork and everything you've arranged will continue exactly as planned.

I'll still be looking after Old St Mellons, Newport and Marshfield, while Jonathan will be your contact for Cardiff North. And if you'd like to advertise across multiple magazines, either of us will be happy to help.

Local Link has always been about more than advertising. It's about supporting local businesses, celebrating our communities and helping independent businesses thrive. That will never change.

A huge thank you to everyone who has supported Local Link over the years. Whether you've advertised with us, featured in the magazine or simply picked up a copy to read, you've helped us get to this point.

Here's to an exciting new chapter! 💛

💙 Giving Back After Our Darkest Days 💙

Earlier this year, our family faced the most frightening time of our lives when our son, Maddox, became critically ill and was admitted to intensive care at Noah's Ark Children's Hospital.

The incredible care we received, along with the support of Ronald McDonald House, helped us through those darkest days. Now, we're taking on a 79-mile challenge to give something back and help other families who find themselves in the same situation.

We've shared our full story on our website, along with details of how you can support our fundraiser.
