Cardiff events venue The Depot is to move to a bigger location.
The independent warehouse will invest £300,000 into relocating to new city centre premises.
The Depot will leave its current location on Dumballs Road, and reopen at a new 22,000 sq ft venue - a 25% bigger capacity - on Williams Way, Curran Embankment on Friday, January 31 .
The move will create 10 new jobs, growing The Depot’s team of permanent staff to 40, which it says will allow the venue to put on more live music and entertainment events.
The new site will include five permanent street food kitchens based inside 20ft shipping containers, as well as an outdoor garden, and a giant screen for cinema pop-ups, sports and corporate events.
The Depot started life as a pop-up street food venue after being granted a temporary three-month licence in late 2014.
It was the brainchild of the then 23-year-old Nicholas Saunders, who later gained planning permission for the site to stay open for a further four years. Among the highlights has been a Peaky Blinders-themed night.
Since then, the warehouse has been used for a wide variety of events, including food and drink festivals, street food events, vintage fairs, weddings, Christmas parties, Bingo Lingo, immersive theatre productions and corporate conferences.
But the site has long been earmarked for demolition as part of the ongoing regeneration plans on Dumballs Road.
