    It’s hard to imagine Cardiff without this priceless, well-loved arts and community hub, with its own spacious café and all-day diversely-stocked bar.

    (Although I’ve never eaten at this venue, all drinks have been fine - including their delicious hot chocolate!)

    The centre also hosts interesting live theatre and even boasts its own intimate cinema.

    And there are long tables, powerful wifi and copious plug sockets (I’ve never seen so many!) for the many laptop users it attracts.

    If I had to change anything I would make the main café, meeting and bar area a little less clinical.

    Maybe pools of subtle, diffused coloured lights or shades could be used - especially in the evening to enhance the ambience and atmosphere - at the moment it’s all white and grey, which doesn’t suit the winding down evening vibe.

    It just needs to feel a little cosier, enhanced also by a few comfortable-but-modern chairs. Presently, everyone is still making do with school canteen-style chairs - okay for eating and working, but not so much for relaxing.

    That said, don’t let me put you off visiting, the transformation from old school building to modern arts oasis has been spectacular.

    It’s a unique venue with a very wide fan base: actors, artists, business people, students, hipsters, theatre/cinema goers, ageing hippies, weirdos, families, kids, senior citizens, the wealthy, the poor… etc etc - all life is here - enjoying a latte.

    As regards the toilets that are shared by both men AND women, this is Monty Python-esque, LOO-piness.

    It goes without saying that women and girls need the safe, private “sanctuary” of dedicated toilets, as their toilets have been for thousands of years, would you believe.

    Of course, it’s only a matter of time before toilet sanity is restored and the manager puts his head in his hands, and exclaims: “What WERE we thinking?”

    Anyway, long live Chapter - a jewel in Cardiff’s social and arts crown, and a nice change from the formulaic, corporate soullessness that permeates most cities.

    (DID YOU KNOW? Around a hundred years ago, when the building was a school, a certain young boy, named Brinley, attended here. He eventually emigrated to Australia and later fathered a supremely talented daughter. She was Olivia Newton John.)

    Just finished the 6 week beginner course with David, going on to stage 2. David is a fab instructor, very helpful and makes the lessons great fun. The course is great for building confidence and learning something new!

    Just about the best circus I have ever been to. A fantastic and inexpensive day out. The creativity and imagination that went in to the show is incredible. The live band are first class and the performers are amazing. Will definitely go again and would highly recommend.

    Omg what a laugh.
    Everyone was in stitches! it was so much better than we thought. ReallyMAdRob was more than a stripper but an entertainer, he stayed for over an hour and played many games. He literally made the night. Thank you so much ReallyMadRob.

    The garden centre is nice but the cafe attached is not good. If you fancy waiting in line for 30 mins and then wait another 25 mins for 1 hot chocolate and 1 can of water then go ahead…otherwise save yourself the hassle and make one at home.

    I really enjoyed my day learning how to bake bread! I had never baked a loaf of bread in my life before going to Ty Paned and now it is a weekly occurrence for me! Dafydd's passion is infectious! I highly recommend it for anyone who has a interest in learning to bake or just to have a fun day doing something new.

    My sister paid for my two sons to make/print their own T-shirts.
    They thoroughly enjoyed it! They learnt how to print their own design T-shirt, it's very hands on. My youngest who is 7 cannot wait to return next summer to make another design.
    Highly recommend!!

    I booked a dress making course and absolutely loved it! I don't know much about sewing but am enthusiastic and love learning new stuff. The class and Cynthia were fantastic. There's not much she doesn't know about sewing! I felt really at ease being a beginner and she was always on hand and happy to help and explain things several times to me!! I will certainly be booking again and taking my friend with me. Can't recommend it highly enough. A. thanks Cynthia! See you again soon

    I can’t recommend 4x4 driving school enough! Went on Saturday 29th July for a stag do that I organised. Everyone who went agreed it was the best activity they have done as part of a stag and also in general too. From the moment we got there to the end everyone enjoyed themselves.
    The staff were amazing, really friendly, helpful and funny, which made the experience even more memorable. They were taking pictures and videos throughout which they then sent to us so we all had great videos to watch back.
    Everyone in the group agreed what great value for money it was, as we had so much time and freedom to drive the cars.
    I will definitely be booking again and recommending to others.

    I did the Dayskipper RYA qualification with Peter and he was really excellent. First rate local knowledge, an excellent sailor and instructor and very personable. Highly recommended.
