Venue Hire
at the Temple of Peace
Welcome to the Venue with a heart
The Temple of Peace is different to most venues you can hire in Cardiff. We are not owned by a private business, we are managed by the charity Cymru Global. When you book your wedding, music event, conference or meeting with us, your money contributes not just to our magnificent building but also to the charity’s work in supporting everyone to learn, collaborate and act for peace, social and climate justice. You are directly helping us to create a fairer and more peaceful world.
An Art Deco gem in the centre of Cardiff
You can hardly miss the huge pillars facing you as you enter the portico of Portland Stone, with three full height windows overlain with art deco copper grills peaked by sculpted friezes representing Health, Justice and Peace. Built as the nation’s memorial to the fallen of World War One, this iconic space was gifted to the future generations of Wales to lift hearts and horizons. Why not make it yours for a day?
There is on-street metered parking near the venue, which is also within walking distance of the city centre. It can be reached by train from Cathays (1/4 mile) or Cardiff Central (1 mile) stations.
Temple of Peace Rooms
The Temple of Peace has four rooms available for hire, ranging from a casual meeting space for 10 and the 15-person board room, to the 60-capacity wood-panelled Council Chamber and the historically grand, 200-capacity Marble Hall.
Marble Hall
Capacity – 200 standing, 180 theatre, 160 cabaret
The iconic Hall is multi-functional and can be set it up cabaret style, theatre style, or as an empty backdrop for whatever you want to use if for! There is a low platform stage at the back of the hall, ideal for a top table, conference lectern or a band to play, as well as giving presentations on our 10ft projector screen. This room is on the ground floor, there are a few steps in the foyer, and we do have a lift or a ramp available.
