DEPOT has moved!
Five years after it first opened as a temporary, eight-week pop-up, Cardiff’s biggest independent warehouse events venue is investing £300,000 into relocating to a new city-centre premises.
The DEPOT, who have established themselves as one of the biggest entertainment brands in the city, will cease trading at their current location on 31st January 2020, and reopen at a new 22,000 sq.ft venue based in a former Lyndons Scaffolding unit on Williams Way, Curran Embankment.
The move will increase the venue’s capacity by 25% with the refurbishment of the new site taking place over the next two months. When complete, it will include five permanent street food kitchens based inside 20ft shipping containers; as well as an outdoor garden, and a huge 7m x 5m screen for cinema pop-ups, sports screenings and corporate events.
THE DEPOT STORY
Nick Saunders, founder and Managing Director of The DEPOT venue and DEPOT Live brand, is now looking forward to the move to a more centrally-located site. He said:
“Despite starting life as a temporary pop-up, The DEPOT has grown to include a packed portfolio of annual events, established itself as a key part of Cardiff’s alternative night-time economy, and attracted a tight-knit team of core staff, so we are all extremely pleased to be able to announce its continuation.”
