The extraordinary evolution of Venue Cymru

A list of what's on at Venue Cymru reads like a cultural dream: everything from talks to exhibitions, ballet to stand-up, sports events to films can be found under the same roof. It's come a long way from its original opening in 1894, when it was a seaside concert hall known as the Victoria Palace. Various incarnations followed, and for the first half of the nineteenth century, it enjoyed considerable popularity as the Arcadia, known for its traditional seaside entertainment like Pierrots and summer theatre. The original building was demolished in 2005 to make way for what has now become Venue Cymru: incorporating the neighbouring North Wales Theatre and Conference Centre, the building is capable of holding all manner of events and on a larger scale than ever before. With a 1,450-seat theatre and 2,500-seat arena, not to mention the conference facilities, the total capacity of Venue Cymru approaches 5,000 and as such, it is a spectacular addition to the arts in North Wales. You can't help but marvel at its versatility and the exciting range of Venue Cymru tickets on offer.

Choose from hundreds of events at Venue Cymru

The Venue Cymru calendar is not just filled with performances by the likes of Welsh National Opera or touring theatre companies; speakers, films and festivals are among some of the many events to be hosted here. When visiting, you can also enjoy the temporary exhibitions that are held here, or perhaps get involved in the local arts scene by joining one of the many and varied workshops. Local, seasonal dining is available on site and the seaside location makes it ideal for a promenade before or after your event. While its size might not compare to the likes of the Motorpoint Arena Cardiff - the largest indoor arena in Wales - or its architecture to the impressive Wales Millenium Centre, Venue Cymru is one of the leading lights in the Welsh cultural scene today. Whatever you choose to see here, be it a rock concert or a musical, a touring opera or a comedy legend, you can buy or sell your Venue Cymru tickets on StubHub today.
