About the venue

Welcome to the Sophia Gardens This impressive, state of the art Stadium is the venue of choice in a City renowned for it’s superb event facilities.

Contemporary and stylish design, integrated audio-visual equipment and client-friendly facilities are attributes which set the SWALEC Stadium apart and enhance a deserved reputation as one of the finest venues in Wales. It is unusual for a single venue to possess such a diverse selection of capabilities as the SWALEC Stadium. Whatever your requirement and however many people you need to accommodate; we are very likely to be able to assist. An oasis for business in the City… As they enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Sophia Gardens your delegates and guests can swap views of cars and concrete for those of trees and countryside whilst enjoying the benefits of a first class event facility. It’s quite possible to forget that you’re ten minutes walk from the very centre of the City whilst enjoying the technology, comfort and service which allow you to achieve your event aims and allows us to exceed your expectations. New era, new opportunities… The Stadium offers seven large suites and twenty two boxes within the Really Welsh Pavillion and the National Cricket Centre. We can accommodate dinners for up to 700 guests and conferences for up to 1000 delegates. The diversity and combination of rooms is unrivalled in Cardiff. Perhaps the best recommendation for our services is the list of blue chiop clients who have brought their events to the SWALEC Stadium since we re-opened following our refurbishment last year. These include John Lewis Plc, The Conservative Party, the BBC, Centrica and many, many more. When the sun goes down… Superb cuisine, fine wine, elegant surroundings and great service. The SWALEC Stadium encompasses all these qualities to ensure that your dinner, ball or reception is a memorable success. Secure parking and the sophisticated ambience of this private venue allow guests to relax and enjoy their evening. Should you require a smaller, more intimate dinner in a private box or a gala banquet for hundreds of people we would be delighted to welcome you and your guests for an evening which will be fondly remembered. • 7 Suites and 22 Boxes/breakout rooms • Suites accommodate from 10 people to 1000 people • Free Wi-Fi throughout the venue • City Centre • Natural light & climate control throughout. • Free parking on site • Plasma TV’s and integrated AV equipment • Superb road links (15 minutes from Junction 29 of the M4)and rail links (120 mins from London Paddington) • Delicious and varied menus/catering options • Efficient and professional events team offering a superb service before and during your event Nearest Train/Tube Station Cardiff Central Station Time to walk from Station? 15 minutes Cost in taxi (roughly) from station? £3.50 Nearest motorway & junction M4 Jct 29 Drive time from motorway & junction 10 minutes
