Entertainment in Cardiff Bay
Red Dragon Centre
The Red Dragon Centre, with its unusual design and central location is the host of many different entertainment venues.
Evolution nightclub (extremely popular with the younger Cardiff residents), Hollywood Bowl, and the Odeon Cinema are the main attractions.
Wales Millennium Centre
The Millennium Centre, the iconic image of the Bay, is also a spectacular building.
Erected as a symbol of the newly developed Bay, it looms over the bustling Lloyd George Avenue and the lively Mermaid Quay.
Its post modern design with the poetic and very Welsh prose scribed onto the face of the building further aids the feature in keeping its nationalism and Gaelic heritage, which could have easily been lost in its innovative and uncompromising structure.
When the Welsh Assembly building, ‘the Senedd’, was opened in March 2006, it firmly established that Cardiff Bay was more than just a generic tourist resort.
The government chose the Bay to house the Welsh Assembly because of its regeneration and its symbolism of a new and modern Wales.
