SWALEC Stadium
This impressive, state of the art Stadium is the venue of choice in a City renowned for its superb event facilities. Contemporary and stylish design, integrated audio-visual equipment and client-friendly facilities are attributes which set the SWALEC Stadium apart and enhance a deserved reputation as one of the finest venues in Wales.
Glamorgan Cricket Club opened the doors of its new home, the SWALEC Stadium, on Friday May 9th 2008 for their Friends Provident Trophy match against Gloucestershire.
Completed in less than eighteen months and costing a cool £9.5 million, the impressive new SWALEC Stadium now boasts a 16,000 strong capacity sporting arena and state of the art conferencing and banqueting facilities.
The SWALEC Stadium encompasses two main areas which can be booked collectively or individually. This flexibility allows us to host large or medium sized events concurrently, yet independently of each other: The Really Welsh Pavilion and The National Cricket Centre.
