Newport's events run through a small number of well-used venues. The Riverfront Theatre is the main arts venue, programming drama, dance, comedy and family shows throughout the year. Rodney Parade hosts rugby and football, and draws the largest crowds in the city. Tredegar House, a National Trust property on the edge of the city, runs outdoor events, craft fairs and seasonal family activities. The Newport Transporter Bridge and the Wetlands Reserve add heritage and outdoor events, and the city centre holds regular markets. Newport also sits close enough to Cardiff that many visitors combine the two. Listings here cover music, theatre, sport, community and family events, in both English and Welsh.
