Teddy’s Place: Creative Haven in the Heart of Cardiff
Inside Teddy’s Place, Cardiff
Tucked away in a converted Victorian warehouse in Cardiff, Teddy’s Place is quickly establishing itself as a go-to hub for the city’s creative community. Founded by Morgan, a passionate entrepreneur with a deep love for the arts, the space was born from a casual conversation with a photographer friend—a chat that soon turned into a bold leap just over a year and a half ago. Today, Teddy’s Place is gaining recognition across Wales as a flexible and welcoming venue for creatives of all kinds.
Morgan had long envisioned opening a creative space in Cardiff—one that broke away from the traditional coworking model. Teddy’s Place is anything but conventional. From stylish lifestyle backdrops to professional photography studios equipped with encyclorama and colourama setups, and a dedicated podcast studio in development with audio experts, this space is purpose-built for creatives who want more than just a desk and Wi-Fi.
With a small team running the operation—including Morgan himself—the ethos is personal, supportive, and ever-adaptable. It’s this flexibility that attracts a wonderfully diverse range of clients. From solo freelancers and brand owners to charities, photographers and content creators, Teddy’s Place thrives on its variety. "Our clientele is so different from one another—it naturally creates a creative buzz," Morgan explains.
The space’s layout mirrors this diversity. In addition to the photography and podcast facilities, there’s a welcoming coffee bar and lifestyle areas that offer a more relaxed, inspiring environment. With lighting kits and other production support on hand, members can arrive and get straight to work, no matter their project.
Despite being relatively new, Teddy’s Place has already grown steadily. What began as a passion project has evolved into a respected creative space that attracts visitors from across Wales. Morgan is especially proud of the fact that people are beginning to realise they don’t need to go to London or other major cities to find the creative facilities and support they need. “It’s about going against the grain and proving Cardiff can offer everything you need,” he says.
The biggest challenge? Awareness. The creative scene in Cardiff, though vibrant, has often felt fragmented. But Morgan sees this as both a challenge and an opportunity—to become the bridge that connects all the pockets of creative talent in the city. Through hosting events, showcasing local artists and creating space for networking, Teddy’s Place is actively helping to unify the scene.
Looking to the future, Teddy’s Place shows no signs of slowing down. With growing recognition and a commitment to community and creativity, it’s fast becoming a cornerstone of Cardiff’s cultural landscape.
