Venue Information
Porth Teigr is one of the most significant waterfront property projects in Europe. A project by specialist sustainable investor, Igloo, working with the Welsh Government, Porth Teigr plans to be a truly mixed-use, sustainable neighbourhood - ultimately including creative, commercial, residential and leisure uses. Some elements of Porth Teigr, such as the BBC's Roath Lock Studios and BBC Worldwide's Doctor Who Experience, are already complete; some is under way; lots is still to come.
