The Canopi has been an essential hub for us and our work. Having now ran multiple events from the building, it's come to mean a lot to us. The way it operates as an independent, artist led venue, means that they're always open for exploring the ways in which spaces like this can support performance work. The coffee bar is quickly becoming a regular meeting place for us, and the performance space is proving to be an incredible space to host our workshops and performances.

TEAM (National Theatre Wales) - April 2025

For me the best venues are the ones where you can get up close and personal, there is a good PA system, the space looks good and is comfortable and where the people running the venue are friendly and take a pride in what they do. Canopi has all that and more. As a promoter I found the team at the venue to be responsive, helpful and friendly. Our initial night went extremely smoothly and everyone, artists and the audience alike, had an amazing evening. Everyone left with a smile on their face. I will definitely be returning to the Canopi both as a promoter and as a punter.

What a fabulous venue. Maggie’s held our annual night walk start and end point here for over 100 people and the space was perfect. Julia and the team were so helpful, giving us ideas for ways we could add value to the event – the food and the karaoke went down a storm – thank you for those suggestions. We’re really grateful for all of your support and for the makers to open their studios after hours for us. We hope to work with you again.

Maggies - Sept 2024

The Canopi was a fantastic venue for our workshop. The space was perfect—well-designed, comfortable, and ideal for a creative and collaborative session. The staff were absolutely brilliant—warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful, making sure everything ran smoothly. The room we hired was great, and they were extremely accommodating to our needs. The communal coffee shop area was a lovely bonus, providing a relaxed space to take a break—and the coffee was exceptional! We highly recommend The Canopi and would love to return.

BBC Wales - January 2025

We loved hosting our workshop at Canopi! The team were super easy to work with and went above and beyond to help us get the room set up exactly how we wanted it and provided yummy refreshments. We will definitely be using this welcoming venue again for workshops and bonus that it’s so near central station!
