Located in Cardiff Bay, it's a charming white wooden building with a rich maritime history. The church’s distinctive Scandinavian design makes it a unique sight in the Bay. It is a lovely spot to admire, especially with its peaceful waterfront setting and historical significance.

Superb arts centre in Cardiff bay. Lovely location. Fantastic cafe and museum/gallery that also puts on events. Went for a gig (played) and had a lovely time. Friendly staff. Lovely space for live music.

Great little place to go and visit. There is a lovely cafe there, delicious food and drinks. There is also a little museum upstairs as well. It's worth a visit.

Very cute though bigger than it looks from outside.. didn't get chance to have a proper look around as there was a pilates and pups class on (or maybe something slightly less random) and didn't get chance to stop.in the cafe.. next time! Gallery wasn't what I expected,it was interesting and I'd have thought museum was a better description.. recommended by my daughter who loves the place

Located on Cardiff Bay, this historic church is now a cafe and arts center. The church retains a meeting space more suited for events than a church service. Interesting stained glass windows point to the unique history of the structure.
