Cardiff Students' Union

About us

The Great Hall is Cardiff Union's largest venue with a capacity of 1,500 and can be accessed from the entrance on Senghennydd Road. An iconic venue on the Cardiff music scene, The Great Hall has hosted hundreds of the biggest names in music over the last 40 years and continues to play an important part in establishing artists.

We are a medium-sized venue mainly working as a receiving house, but sometimes book artists to play across our student events.

Accessibility

We have achieved the Attitude Is Everything silver award — our goal is to ensure that all customers have an enjoyable experience at our venues. We're working hard to eliminate barriers, so our events can be accessible to as many people as possible.

From early access schemes to companion tickets, accessible viewing areas and lots more we are committed to accommodating your needs. Find out more via our accessibility page.

We are also open to implementing green riders and have sustainability initiatives in place. For example, we run on renewable electricity from our solar panels and we are currently working on our bar waste.

Getting home

There is limited street parking available, but we are situated next to Cathays train station and it is easy to get a taxi directly to the venue. Visit our getting here page for more information.
