We are closed 

Our shop in the Royal Arcade closed on the 30th of August 2026, after a fantastic 5 years. We are still running our events in satellite venues across Cardiff (and further in 2027).

Watch this space, exciting website update coming soon!!!

We are in the process of creating an amazing new space - this is a long term opportunity that will take many years to complete. We will be updating you all when we can!

A little about us...

We're a queer community space, events space and shop based in Cardiff - stocking over 18 local LGBT+ businesses.

Starting as a pop-up shop in June 2021, we've become one of South Wales most recognisable Queer brands. The best part - all profits go towards supporting LGBTQ+ community projects.

TIN led, managed and owned

Almost exclusively operated by trans / intersex / non binary community members, The Queer Emporium is a home for minority genders and strives to create an affirming safe space with needed events and workshops for the community.
