St David's Hall Situated on the Hayes in the heart of the city centre shopping area, St David's Hall is a 2000 seat concert venue. The unusual design of the building to fit its tight space on top of the St David's shopping centre means you're never too far from the stage although some of the higher seats are not great if you suffer vertigo. No onsite parking but there are public car parks within a short walk. St David's Hall, The Hayes, Cardiff CF10 1SH. Box Office 029 2087 8444 |

Wales Millenium Centre The WMC or 'armadillo' is a 1900 seater purpose-built concert venue in the bay. It's home to the Welsh National Opera and stages several productions a year. If your idea of fun is sitting for hours while people with a high body mass index shout at each other in Italian, you could try these sopranos for a change. No onsite parking but there are public car parks within a short walk. Wales Millennium Centre, Bute Place, Cardiff, CF10 5AL Box Office 08700 40 2000 |

New Theatre Cardiff's Edwardian New Theatre celebrated its 100th birthday in 2006. It's a great place to see plays and musicals as it has a much more intimate atmosphere than St Davids Centre and the Millenium Centre although you pay for this with reduced leg room. No on-site parking but public parking within a short walk. New Theatre, Park Place, Cardiff, CF10 3LN Box Office 029 2087 8889 Recorded Info 029 2087 8890 |

Sherman Theatre The Sherman adjoins the Student's Union in Senghenydd Road near the city centre and shares its 'fuhrerbunker' construction style. The forbidding outside hides a surprisingly warm interior though and the theatre is a pleasant place to see 'artier' productions as well as new writers and comedians. No on-site parking but public parking within a short walk. Next to Cathays Railway Station. Sherman Theatre, Senghenydd Road, Cardiff, CF24 4YE Box Office 029 2064 6900 |
