AboutThe Coal Exchange The Exchange was built between 1883 and 1886 to the designs of James, Seward and Thomas. It was here that Cardiff's leading businessmen-owners of shipping firms, coal mines and of allied businesses-met to fix their deals, some with far distant countries. Cardiff, which half a century before had been a market town of 10,000 people with a small coastal trade, had become a commercial centre of importance on the world's stage. The Exchange Buildings, home of The Coal Exchange is about to enter a new chapter in its long history. October 2007 marks the start of extensive renovation and redevelopment of our historic home. There will be an inevitable closure of the venue from the end of 2007 through 2008. We will however continue to take bookings beyond this point and look forward to a long future in a rejuvenated Coal Exchange. AwardsAWARD CEREMONIES have become something of a speciality at The Coal Exchange: THE WELSH BAFTAS began here, as did the BVSN DIVERSITY AWARDS, THE WELSH ROCK,POP & DANCE AWARDS, BUSINESS IN THE COMMUNITY AWARDS, THE VALLEYS KIDS MIDAS AWARDS and THE GOLDEN PIXIL . |
