The climate change protest is expected to last at least three days and Castle Street will stay closed during this period.
Extinction Rebellion are an environmental group who are demanding that the government take action against climate change. The protests in Cardiff are joined by protests in Bristol, Leeds, Glasgow and London and form the group's 'Summer Uprising'.
"This emergency mobilisation of ordinary citizens, driven to action by the threat of climate breakdown and ecological collapse, will demand the government take immediate action to halt biodiversity loss and reduce greenhouse gases to net zero by 2025," the group said in a statement.
"Through a host of non-violent protests, communities around the UK will be coming together to stage a series of creative acts of civil-disobedience – blocking specific locations, bridges and roads – while also holding talks, workshops, trainings, family friendly activities, peoples’ assemblies and more."
