Gala Dinners

National Museum Cardiff, home to the Welsh national collection of fine and applied art, is one Cardiff’s most illustrious venues for hosting your gala event.

For a truly Grand dinner we’d propose our iconic Grand Hall. With its magnificent marble staircases and glorious high domed ceiling, this iconic Cardiff space can accommodate up to 280 for a sit-down dinner. Fully accessible by ramp through the main doors and with lifts to each level, including the bathrooms.

Talk to our team about making your dinner truly your event, whether brand colour lighting, technical support for speeches and presentations or bringing in space dressing, this is your event and your Museum.

We can host performances from dancers, choirs, classical artists, bands and more to entertain your guests during or after you dine. Speak to our expert team for recommendations. Why not indulge your guests further and gift them a reception in our stunning galleries upon arrival, surrounding them with one of the finest collections of impressionist art in Europe, including iconic works by Renoir, Cézanne and Monet.

Catering is delivered by one of our expert award-winning third-party caterers. From three-course dining to buffet banquets, our suppliers can cater to your needs, including sustainable menus.
