Cardiff is the closest capital city to London, just 2 hours by train. It also has direct rail connections to other cities such as Bristol and Birmingham. Cardiff International Airport is just 20 minutes away from the City Centre, with flights arriving from international destinations and daily flights from UK airports. Situated just off the M4 and M5, it is also extremely easy to travel to the city by car.
Cardiff has only been the capital of Wales since 1955, making it the youngest capital in the UK and one of the fastest growing. Although due to recent regeneration projects which have made the city contemporary and diverse, Cardiff remains rich in ancient history and proud of its industrial and shipping heritage. These points alone make it an attractive choice for organisers looking to arrange events in a vibrant and accessible location.
Cardiff offers unique attractions and top-class entertainment, its music and arts scene hosting world-class theatre, live music, and opera events all year round. Being a city that loves to entertain, the foodie scene is thriving with pop-up street food markets and fine dining restaurants.
