Getting booked as an entertainer in Cardiff
Cardiff's compact city centre punches above its weight — a busy wedding market, a huge student population and a corporate scene anchored by the bay and the stadium.
The Cardiff market
Work spreads from Cardiff Bay's waterside venues to hotels in the city centre and country houses across the Vale of Glamorgan. Match days and event weekends fill the city with visitors, and the wider South Wales valleys add social clubs and party venues within easy reach.
Where the work is
Weddings in the city and the Vale
City-centre hotels, bay venues and Vale of Glamorgan country houses book bands, DJs and ceremony musicians year-round.
Student and city-centre parties
A big student population and a famous nightlife scene keep party DJs and live acts busy every week.
Corporate and stadium events
The bay, the arena and the stadium district book entertainment for conferences, awards and hospitality events.
