Leisure attractions such as Gareth Bale’s mini-golf themed bar Par 59 and social darts bar Flight Club are taking a lead role in revitalising the centre of Cardiff three years on since the pandemic.
According to a new report from real estate agent Avison Young, the Welsh capital’s city centre has become a desirable market for leisure operators and investors looking to open venues that also had an experiential offering.

John Coggins, leisure director at Avison Young’s Cardiff office, said: “Leisure, as ever, remains a very exciting sector, and one that is constantly evolving despite the ups and downs of headwinds including labour shortages, inflation and a cost of living crisis.
