Great Venues in Cardiff For Conferences, Away Days & Meetings
City Hall
Few venues in Cardiff create a sense of scale quite like City Hall. Set within Cathays Park, the building immediately signals importance — ideal for conferences or away days where you want the setting to match the ambition of the agenda.
Inside, the spaces range from grand halls suited to large delegate numbers to smaller rooms that work well for focused discussions and breakout sessions. High ceilings and natural light give the rooms an open feel, while modern AV and event support ensure the experience is firmly rooted in the present, not the past.
Despite its size, City Hall is well organised and centrally located, making it easy for teams to arrive, stay on schedule and make the most of the day.
Great for your team because:
✔ An iconic Cardiff venue with real presence
✔ A mix of large-scale and more intimate meeting spaces
✔ Central location close to transport links and hotels
✔ Strong AV and experienced event management

St David’s Hotel & Spa

The meeting rooms are contemporary and flexible, suitable for everything from leadership away days to multi-stream conferences. Breakout sessions flow easily, and longer programmes benefit from having bedrooms, dining and informal networking spaces all under one roof.
When the agenda allows, the bay-side setting gives teams space to decompress — whether that’s during coffee breaks or after a full day of sessions.
Great for your team because:
✔ Waterfront setting that feels open and inspiring
✔ Modern meeting spaces with adaptable layouts
✔ On-site accommodation for residential events

The open-plan layout works well for flexible agendas — presentations can give way to workshops, group discussions or interactive sessions without needing to move rooms. It’s a venue that encourages participation and keeps energy levels high, particularly for teams looking to break away from conventional conference formats.
Depot is best suited to day events, product launches or internal conferences where atmosphere and adaptability matter as much as structure.
Great for your team because:
