Swansea is Wales's second largest city situated on the South West Wales coast in the county of Glamorgan on the beautiful Glower Peninsular. It is not difficult to see why this was Britain's first designated 'Area of Outstanding Beauty' with parklands that roll down to the Swansea Bay, popular beaches such as the Three Cliffs and Worm's Head and rural areas of open moorland reaching the foothills of the Black Mountain. Surrounded by beauty, it is no wonder that Swansea venues are a popular location for corporate events such as meetings, conferences and banquets as well as private functions and weddings.

Swansea venues are located all over the city from the Maritime Quarter to the former fishing village of Mumbles at the western end of Swansea Bay. Suitable for large gatherings as well as small intimate functions, these venues bring to life all that is synonymous with the heritage and culture of Wales.
Swansea abounds with cultural venues that pay tribute to the artistic talent of the Welsh people and also host touring groups. As the hometown of Catherine Zeta Jones, and poet Dylan Thomas and just a few miles from the birthplace of megastars Anthony Hopkins and Richard Burton, Swansea is indeed a city that spawns and fosters music and the arts. The Victorian Grand Theatre in the center of the city has a capacity for over 1,000 people with a program that ranges from pantomime and drama to ballet and opera.
Many other theatres including the Taliesin Building on the university campus, the Dylan Thomas Theatre, and the Oystermouth castle feature smaller productions and outdoor Shakespeare performances.

The Patti Pavilion and Singleton Park are used for open air concerts and parties, music shows and folk festivals. The Brangwyn Hall is praised for its acoustics and showcases international orchestras and soloists.
Swansea venues provide the perfect opportunity to get the most out of a conference or management training. Situated on the coast allows for exciting water-based team building training while rural locations allow for total focus on the job at hand as well as exciting adventure exercises. The University of Swansea is an ideal venue to host a conference during the university holiday season. Over 100 meeting rooms with a maximum capacity of 1070 guests as well as providing accommodation and a central dining area makes this a very popular venue. Some of the function rooms are available during the evenings and weekends the year round.
