How to find us
Directions and Public Transport information for the all-new Devils HQ
Following our exciting office move and with the Early Bird discount soon coming to an end, Devils fans will be wanting to find our new offices and learn the best ways to get here. We look forward to welcoming you to our new home!
BY CAR
If you drive then it’s simple – turn off Tyndall Street (city centre end) or Hemingway Road (Cardiff Bay end) into Schooner way, then look for the sign for the car park for the Wharf pub and offices. We are the first building you will see in front of you (there is a Devils sign on the door to let you know you have found us).
BY RAIL
If you are travelling by train, alight at the Cardiff Bay rail station, head down Hemingway Road (towards County Hall) and turn left into Schooner way. We are a few hundred yards down and on the right.
To get information on train times, click here:
BY BUS
This is easy too – by far the best way to get to us on Cardiff Bus is by taking the Baycar, which leaves the City Centre regularly throughout the week. It stops on Schooner Way itself, just a very short distance from our building.
You can find the timetables and route map for this service here: Baycar Timetable / Map
This information will also be able to be found in the contact section of cardiffdevils.com
If you experience difficulties finding us or would like some further information please feel free to call us on 0844 801 2010.
