Venue Description:

The Gate is a beautifully converted Grade II listed building originally built in 1910. It was originally built as a Presbyterian Church with the aim to serve the local community of Roath. Following a careful and loving restoration in 2001 much has changed about the building, but the heart remains the same. To serve the local and wider community of Cardiff in the context of a varied and vibrant Arts program and provide a quality service to those who wish to hire this stunning venue for their memorable and special event. The venue now benefits from all the modern features needed to host events in a building brimming with period charm and character. Allow us to tell you a little about the spaces we have available for hire.

Venue Details for Weddings:

The Grand Theatre

The Grand Theatre, formerly an upper section of the church, is now a spectacular dining space seating up to 100 on circular tables, or up to 140 in rows. The Theatre has a built in dance floor, raised stage, fitted sound desk, PA system, video projector and a function bar, making it the ideal space for your day and evening celebrations. The architectural beauty of the original church provides the perfect romantic setting for the celebration of your marriage and an area to inspire you and your guests in an intimate setting for your special occasion.

The Dance Studio

The Dance Studio still features the original intricately carved pulpit and elaborate columns, adding character to this highly functional and versatile space. The room can seat up to 80 people for a meal, can be used as a welcome area for guests as they await the arrival of the bride and groom, or can even be converted into a children’s entertainment space and break-out room.

The Cafe Bar

Our stylish Cafe Bar has been formed in the original schoolroom, the oldest part of the building dating back to 1896. The Cafe is an excellent alternative for smaller private functions and family celebrations. The room has a built in bar, its own private entrance and can comfortably seat up to 70 people for a sit down meal. We also have Studio 3 at the back of the Theatre which has its own make-up room, toilets and shower and room divider, allowing you to split the space in two. Two Exhibition Galleries are housed in The Gate, the first around a wonderfully glazed screen and curved pew (originally the front entrance to the church), the other constructed against the original exterior stone wall which is still visible
