EVENTS
Whether you’re here to sip artisan coffee, make music, create art, or catch an intimate gig, this space is built for expression. By day, it’s a coffee bar, workshop hub and exhibition space, where you can learn new skills, showcase your work, or get inspired by the city’s most exciting creatives. By night, it transforms into a laid-back venue for live performances that hit close to home. The Canopi is where Cardiff’s creative community comes to thrive, connect, and grow.
