Our main performance space, the Donald Gordon Theatre, is the second largest stage in Europe and among the best theatres in the world.
It welcomes high quality, award-winning musical theatre productions fresh from the West End, the powerful emotion of Welsh National Opera, plus dance, drama and more. This unique world-class auditorium is a magnificent setting for corporate and private events and promises your guests a truly memorable experience.
The Donald Gordon Theatre has hosted some of the biggest events in Wales such as awards dinners, AGMs, conferences, graduation ceremonies and exhibitions and has also been used as a filming location for major film and TV productions.
A truly special experience is hosting a dinner on the stage – with the lights of the auditorium lit in all their starry greatness, guests can follow in the footsteps of many world-famous performers.
