Wales Millennium Centre

Wales Millennium Centre is a performing arts venue in Cardiff Bay that also offers a varied collection of spaces for private and corporate events. Organisers can choose from the 1,897-seat Donald Gordon Theatre, intimate studios, meeting rooms, bars and large public spaces, with options for events ranging from board meetings and conferences to award ceremonies, dinners, exhibitions, launches and staff celebrations.

The different rooms offer a choice of atmosphere and scale. The Japan Room suits board meetings and smaller conferences, while the Weston Studio and adjoining rehearsal rooms can accommodate presentations, exhibitions, breakout sessions and dinners. For receptions and larger gatherings, Glanfa, Ffwrnais and the theatre bars provide distinctive settings, including views across Cardiff Bay. The main theatre can also be hired for large presentations, ceremonies and banquets on stage.

Event facilities vary by space and can include Wi-Fi, screens, sound and lighting equipment, stages, bars and cloakrooms. The Centre also offers on-site technical and IT support, and its experienced event team can help organisers consider room layouts, access needs and practical requirements. Accessibility support may include hearing loops, audio description, BSL interpretation and simultaneous translation. Backstage tours can be arranged as an optional addition for guests.

Located beside the Senedd, the Centre is connected to Cardiff Bay by bus, train, road, cycle routes and waterbus, with car parks and hotels nearby. Organisers can contact the venue hire team to discuss availability, capacities and the right combination of spaces for their event.
