Swansea's Wind Street will soon be home to a glamorous new cabaret bar, it's been confirmed. The people behind Main Stage, a cabaret bar in Cardiff, have said they'll be opening a venue at 27 Wind Street (next to Founders and Co.) later this summer and that it will provide a welcoming and safe space for the local LGBTQ+ community - and will host regular cabaret shows by popular local drag queens.
Main Stage has operated a gay bar and cabaret venue in Cardiff for more than three years, 18 months of which have been at its current location in St Mary Street. Business partners and best friends, Martin Jones and Marc Scofield, said the bar had become so popular they'd been looking to open a second one for quite some time - and that several customers felt a new gay venue was needed in Swansea.
"We've had Main Stage Cardiff for three years now, it's been so successful and we really wanted to expand," Martin told WalesOnline at Swansea Pride. "Main Stage Swansea will be a gay bar with cabaret performances - and there's a real need for it here." To get the latest What's On newsletters from WalesOnline, click here
