Hotels for Donny Osmond: Viva UK

A night built around decades of hits, from teen-idol pop through to soft-rock ballads and Broadway-style showmanship. Expect a crowd who grew up with the songs first time round, plus plenty who discovered them later through revivals and reissues. The show leans on warmth and nostalgia rather than spectacle, with plenty of chat between numbers and a singalong atmosphere throughout. A Monday evening slot makes it a low-key start to the week rather than a big weekend blowout.

In the centre of Cardiff, this long-running indoor arena hosts concerts, comedy and family shows within easy reach of the capital's bars, shopping and the castle. The walkable centre puts restaurants and nightlife all around, with the waterfront of Cardiff Bay a short distance further. Cardiff Central and Queen Street stations link the arena across the city and region. Staying centrally lets you enjoy the city before a show and stroll back to your room once the night is done, no transport required.
