Living in Cardiff

Fireworks display over Cardiff Bay

Arts and Culture

The new home of performing arts in Cardiff is the spectacular Wales Millennium Centre. The venue opened in November 2004, bringing top theatre, dance and musical entertainment to Wales in one of the most striking buildings designed anywhere this century.

The Sherman and New Theatre offer mainstream and fringe productions, opera and ballet, whilst the Cardiff Bay waterfront hosts free concerts throughout the year.

Dr who isn't from outer space, he's from Cardiff. New episodes of the massive sci-fi show and it's spin-off series Torchwood - starring several former RWCMD students - have both been filmed all around the city, so keep an eye out for the Doctor and his foes.

For celebrities of a more gentle persuasion, look no further than the National Gallery, which is full of works by Van Gogh, Monet and other world-famous artists.
