Iconic? Me? I’m flattered ☺️
Thank you to The Architectural Heritage Fund for the highlight - we love being able to be more than “just a church”, more than “just a cafe”, and more than just that funny little building in Cardiff Bay.
We promise to keep the new projects coming if you - our regulars and new visitors - promise to keep visiting! ❤️

Destination #3! 📍🏴

The touring exhibition is on the move, and we’re incredibly excited to bring the third stop of “50 Years of Reimagining Heritage” to Cardiff!

Since 1976, the AHF has supported over 2,400 projects across the UK, investing more than £182 million to breathe new life into historic spaces. Next up on our tour is the iconic Norwegian Church Arts Centre.

Built in 1868 for Norwegian seafarers, this historic timber church has been completely reimagined as a thriving arts centre and community hub. Come explore how historic buildings are being given a second life!

The AHF 50th-anniversary celebrations are made possible thanks to The National Lottery Heritage Fund and players.

🗓️ 24th June – 9th July
Monday-Sunday, 10am-4pm

📍 Norwegian Church Arts Centre, Harbour Drive, Cardiff Bay
