“The SWALEC Stadium was an ideal venue for the first of our Official HSBC Lions Legends Dinners ahead of the British & Irish Lions tour to South Africa in 2009. We needed a well located and contemporary location, with superb food and fantastic service. The SWALEC Stadium ticked all those boxes.”

“When John Lewis needed a training venue which could cope with the major task of hosting all the training for the opening of John Lewis Cardiff we assessed all the options that the city has to offer and chose the SWALEC Stadium. The combination of the variety and flexibility of the various event spaces within the venue as well as the modern design, integrated technology, great food and personal service meant that we were able to host many consecutive training sessions and different size groups. Of additional appeal was the sense of team spirit and positivity and we recognised many similarities between the values and approach of the SWALEC Stadium and its team with our own culture and ways of working. I would encourage any event organiser to approach the SWALEC Stadium if they value such qualities.”
Managing Director, John Lewis Cardiff
“The event was very well received by all graduates and guests, including Management Board Directors and the Permanent Secretary of the Welsh Assembly Government. The venue was ideal – spacious, light and well-furnished. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. The food was delicious!”

“When Red Bull were in need of venue to host our regional meeting we required a venue that stood out from the rest and that gave all colleagues a ‘wow factor’ on arrival and was aligned with our brand. The team at the SWALEC Stadium provided us with all of the above. The view of the stadium from the ‘Extra Cover Suite’ was superb and the use of the hospitality boxes as break out rooms added a unique touch. The event was organised smoothly and every member of the SWALEC Stadium team were extremely efficient. Thank you.”

“It is a pleasure for all of us, the Cabinet, to be here to congratulate Wales first of all, to congratulate Cardiff, to congratulate the Glamorgan Cricket Club for hosting the first Ashes Test, the first time an Ashes Test had been held here in Wales. You did it so magnificently that I believe tourists from around the world will flock to Cardiff and to Wales as a result of that. To all those who were responsible for all of that, the congratulations of all the Cabinet. Thank you all very much.”
