Opening in March 2024, Corn Exchange on Newport’s High Street will be a 500-capacity live music and performance venue, giving bands and performers a large capacity venue in the city – and providing South East Wales with a mid-size venue. As a gathering space for people of the city since it was first opened in 1878. In more recent times this cornerstone of Newport’s history has served the city as a nightclub and an office space. From early 2024 it will once again be a hub for gatherings in the city, bringing a heritage venue back to purpose in Newport’s city centre, while at the same time adding another story to the city’s rich cultural history.
