Brief Description:

Cornerstone is a conference centre, arts centre and community hub which officially opened in December 2016. It is housed in the former Grade II listed Ebenezer Chapel, which was originally opened in 1855 and was the first Neo-gothic church in Cardiff.

A Heritage Lottery Grant of £1.2m enabled the restoration of the building, which now houses several different community areas: The Hedley Room (a Meeting Room), the Jane Hodge Hall (a community hall available for hire), the David Neville Gallery (the mezzanine floor for a relaxed or formal gatherings), a Private Dining room and The Great Hall Dewi Sant (a unique venue for medium sized conferences, wedding receptions, parties, gala dinners, charity auctions and exhibitions).
