This beautiful building is well-worth a visit, giving a comprehensive history of Cardiff Bay, with three short informative films to watch as well.

The Guildhall

Opend on 23 October 1934, Swansea's Guildhall has played a central role in the civic life of the city for many years. The building has proved to be functional as well as being architecturally splendid. Its innovative design and features were widely copied in other municipal buildings during the two decades following its completion. As the civic centre, it has functioned as the focal point of local government and justice, it is the fount of civic ceremony, and is one of the principal centres of social and cultural life in Swansea. The Guildhall has undergone several alterations and extensions, but it has retained its original character as an example of 'a classical approach to modernism'. It is now regarded as an historic building in its own right, and one of which the people of Swansea are justifiably proud.

Hired the main hall for my 50th birthday party and had a fab night. Steve was so helpful and accommodating, nothing was to much trouble. Would definitely recommend hiring this venue for any celebration.

Senedd

Reviewed By welshbird34 - Conwy, United Kingdom

We visited the National Assembly on a Saturday morning on the off chance of a cuppa and sneaky peek at the architecture!! What we got was a tremendously friendly welcome from security and staff at reception. We enjoyed a fantastic tour of the chamber itself by knowledgeable staff. Enjoyed a lovely cuppa (panad cymreig!!), brownies and Welsh cakes with stunning views over the bay. We got to hear about the Welsh Youth Parliment, that it was possible to sit in the gallery and watch the goings on in the chamber on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, the sustainability and eco-friendly ways of heating/lighting/saving water. We can really recommend a visit and can't explain how pleased we were to find such a treasure of friendly people working there!! Diolch yn fawr iawn x

City Hall

Reviewed By rogerhY5668ET - Cardiff, United Kingdom

Whilst entertaining our American friends this week, we took them to the city centre and in particular the City Hall. Most people will associate the city hall for Civic events and weddings, when in fact it is much more. This Council run building has a special selection of sculptures and paintings on the ground and first floors. Thee receptionist on the way in will be helpful if you need her assistance. Or alternatively you can just sit and admire the location. Previously there's been a peregrine falcon nesting on the roof.

Llandudno Town Hall

Reviewed By JohnH219 - Colwyn Bay, United Kingdom

August 25th 2020 and the day of the storm Frances, what a day that was. We were the only mad people to get married on that day in the middle of a storm, but we wouldn't change it for the world. The staff in the registry office were brilliant, putting both if us at ease and getting through the ceremony with a professional manner during these dificult times. Well done, we enjoyed it!
