The Centre also houses a state-of-the-art gym with a growing membership base, enhancing its appeal to the health and wellness market. It is home to the Heart and Capital South Wales radio studios, which are currently undergoing a full studio refurbishment. The Red Dragon Centre attracted over 1.7 million visitors in the past year, demonstrating its status as a high-footfall leisure destination. Current performance is tracking 20% ahead of the previous year. The Centre’s combination of leisure, dining, and entertainment experiences continues to drive leisure visits, supporting occupier success and sustained growth. The Centre operates a proactive, inclusive marketing strategy aimed at delivering consistent engagement and footfall throughout the year. Events are carefully timed to coincide with film releases, school holidays, and seasonal peaks, with themed decor and immersive activations that generate excitement and social media buzz. The Centre also boasts a robust digital presence, with strong and growing engagement across social media channels and consistent year-on-year increases in website traffic. This is complemented by its exclusive partnership with Capital South Wales, offering unrivalled regional marketing reach through integrated radio campaigns.
