Tiger Yard is Cardiff Bay's outdoor food-and-music yard, built on the waterfront site of the former Doctor Who museum at Porth Teigr. Bars, street-food kitchens and seating wrap around 22 rainbow-coloured shipping containers, and a recently fitted retractable roof makes the space all-weather. With a capacity of around 600, the yard programmes a live-music stage across the season alongside its free-entry, dog-friendly daytime trading. Recent bills have featured touring acts including The Dualers, Jo Whiley's 90s Anthems and Midge Ure's Band Electronica, mixing pop, indie, rock and tribute shows. Reopened for its season on 4 April 2025.
