The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, situated in the heart of Cardiff, is surrounded by white Portland-stone 19th-century civic buildings on one side and the grounds of the magnificent Cardiff Castle on the other. The college is made up of two buildings encompassing both historic and contemporary styles. The Anthony Hopkins centre is the original Cardiff Castle Stables and boasts a historic open-air courtyard. While, the contemporary glass-walled entrance hall and open-air terrace overlooking the Grade I listed Bute Park, creates a stunning backdrop for photographs.

Celebrate in style
The Anthony Hopkins Centre has two elegant rooms that are available for ceremonies, one can seat 80 guests, and the other can hold 50.

Alternatively, The World-Class Concert Hall can accommodate up to 200 nearest and dearest, and the Richard Burton Theatre has room for 180.

Intimate receptions take place in the Stables with 50 friends and family, and large celebrations are held in the glass-walled entrance hall and open-air terrace with 200 people.

Up to 300 loved ones can dance the night away in the Atrium, which has a fully-stocked and licensed bar as well as a dancing area, cloakroom and bridge decorated with fairylights.

We love...
The venue offers a Hire a Performer Scheme where the staff will help couples find the perfect musicians for their evening entertainment.
