Wales Millennium Centre

Wales Millennium Centre is based in the heart of Cardiff Bay. We are an iconic public building, charity and national arts centre that attracts 1.8 million visits per year.

We expand horizons by creating magical experiences for all. Our iconic Donald Gordon Theatre stages international productions including blockbuster West End musicals, opera, ballet and contemporary dance, plays and stand-up comedy. We also create our own magical productions that amplify Welsh voices. Our intimate Cabaret venue is a home for emerging, eclectic and diverse talent, while our international arts festival Llais celebrates the voice in all its forms.

We spark connections by celebrating creativity in our spaces. Bocs is our dedicated and pioneering venue presenting an ever-changing programme that brings award-winning immersive experiences and extended reality (XR) events to Wales. Our bustling ground floor café-bar Ffwrnais is a gateway to the arts – pop in for lunch or a cuppa before a performance, or stay for a post-show drink to discuss what you’ve just watched.

We kindle talent by sharing creative opportunities and developing skills. Platfform is our free programme of courses, training, experiences and workshops for young people, sharing skills for life and work. Through our Awen Artists project, we provide space and support to creatives, giving them opportunities to play, explore, fail and grow. Our Glanfa Commissions present exhibitions and large-scale installations in our public spaces, filling the building with a range of voices. We believe the arts are for everyone – Croeso Tickets, our pay what you can scheme, makes magical experiences more accessible to more people.

We are Wales Millennium Centre. Fire for the imagination.
