City Hall is the centrepiece of one of the world's finest civic centres, an area of prestigious buildings, gardens and broad avenues. Within its magnificent exterior can be found elegant rooms of all descriptions and sizes to meet any conference or function requirement. These include the spacious Assembly Room, undoubtedly Wales' premier function venue, accommodating up to 500 for a formal dinner. This is often the setting for major national and international events and is accessed by a grand Victorian staircase and the splendid Marble Hall.
