Hado is an interactive videogame

Caerphilly residents have a chance at trying Hado at Newbridge Leisure Centre this April, with the council encouraging those with no experience to have a go.

The event, on Sunday April 20, will be open for birthday parties, coached sessions, and competitive matches to those aged six years and above.
