Inkspot Venue

You'll find Inkspot tucked into The Old Church on Newport Road – a proper gem of a venue that's taken a derelict building and actually done something interesting with it. The bones of the space are gorgeous: high ceilings, stone walls, the kind of bones that remind you this place used to mean something. Now it hosts live music, theatre productions and art events with the sort of scruffy-round-the-edges charm that makes Cardiff's independent venue scene worth caring about. It's the kind of place where you might catch an emerging band one night and an experimental theatre piece the next, all without pretence or inflated ticket prices.
