New Theatre
About
New Theatre Cardiff is Wales’s flagship venue for live entertainment, staging a brilliant mix of blockbuster musical theatre, classic drama, intimate comedy, and lively dance performances. Nestled in the heart of Cardiff on Park Place, the theatre boasts a modern, award‑winning design that’s as welcoming to novices as it is to seasoned theatre aficionados. The space is fully accessible, with the stage, seating, and facilities adapted for people with reduced mobility, hearing impairment or visual impairment. A comprehensive seating plan is available online, and public transport links are easy: the venue is a short walk from Queen Street and Cardiff Central railway stations, and it lies within a short street‑car distance of surrounding bus stops. Food and drink options are plentiful: the theatre’s bars offer a curated selection of beer, wine, spirits and non‑alcoholic drinks, and patrons can pre‑order interval drinks directly through the theatre’s online system. For those seeking a snack, the bar also stocks sweets, ice‑cream and nuts. With a box office phone line at 0343 310 0041, you can book tickets over the phone, call in for inquiries, or take advantage of the onsite ticket office during opening hours. From early September all the way through the following March, the house offers a wide range of performances at a starting price of just £11.25, making a night out both varied and affordable.
