Where to go in Cardiff: events, concerts, games and shows worth your night

Cardiff is a capital that fits in a walk: a stadium in the middle of the city that hosts the biggest concerts in Wales, a pedestrianised street of live venues, an opera house in the bay, and a rugby crowd that sings in a way no other sports crowd does. Below is where to go in Cardiff for a night out, with addresses, and what tends to be on when.

Concerts and live music in Cardiff

The Principality Stadium (Westgate Street) takes the stadium tours, with the roof closed when the weather demands; the Utilita Arena Cardiff the arena ones; Tramshed (Pendyris Street, Grangetown) and the Great Hall at the Students’ Union the mid-sized. Clwb Ifor Bach (11 Womanby Street, clwb.net) is the Welsh-language club that has broken bands for forty years, and Womanby Street around it is the city’s live-music quarter. St David’s Hall (The Hayes) is the concert hall, home of the BBC National Orchestra of Wales when it reopens.

Cardiff nightlife: Womanby Street, St Mary Street and Cardiff Bay

Womanby Street has the venues and the late bars; St Mary Street and the arcades the pubs and clubs; Cardiff Bay the restaurants and the Millennium Centre; Cathays the student bars. Bars close at 2 and clubs at 4; the trains stop around midnight.

Theatre, opera and comedy in Cardiff

The Wales Millennium Centre (Bute Place, Cardiff Bay) is home to Welsh National Opera and takes the touring musicals; the Sherman Theatre in Cathays produces new plays, the New Theatre the rest, and the Glee Club in the bay is the comedy room.

Sports in Cardiff

Wales rugby at the Principality Stadium in the Six Nations (February and March) and the autumn internationals; Cardiff City at the Cardiff City Stadium; Cardiff Rugby at the Arms Park; Glamorgan cricket at Sophia Gardens. A Six Nations Saturday is the biggest day in the city’s year.

Museums and galleries in Cardiff

The National Museum Cardiff in Cathays Park is free, with the largest impressionist collection outside Paris; Chapter Arts Centre in Canton is the contemporary arts centre and cinema; g39 in Roath the artist-run gallery.
