Planning an event can feel overwhelming. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, conference, or charity night, the right venue makes all the difference.
At The Hi-Tide in Porthcawl, events are more than just gatherings - they become unforgettable experiences by the seaside.
From the moment you step inside, you’ll find a venue that’s flexible, welcoming, and built around creating memories.
Here’s exactly what you can expect when hosting your next event at The Hi-Tide.
A Venue Like No Other
Seafront Setting
The Hi-Tide sits right on the edge of Porthcawl’s coastline. That means your guests can step outside and instantly feel the sea breeze, hear the waves, and enjoy panoramic views.
It’s the kind of backdrop that adds instant atmosphere - whether you’re cutting a wedding cake, raising a glass at a birthday, or networking at a corporate function.
Spacious and Flexible Rooms
No two events are the same. That’s why The Hi-Tide offers a variety of spaces that can be tailored to your needs.
From intimate rooms for private dinners to large function halls for 200+ guests, the layout can adapt to suit your vision.
Weddings at The Hi-Tide
Saying “I Do” by the Sea
There’s something magical about a seaside wedding. At The Hi-Tide, couples can celebrate against the backdrop of waves and wide horizons.
Imagine exchanging vows, then stepping outside for photos with golden sunsets and sandy beaches framing the moment.
A Complete Wedding Package
The team understands how important weddings are. That’s why they provide more than just a room - we help with:
- Catering options to suit every budget.
- Room dressing to match your theme.
- Dedicated staff to ensure every detail runs smoothly.
It means you can focus on your special day while everything else is taken care of.
Celebrations and Private Parties
Birthdays, Anniversaries, and More
Looking for somewhere to celebrate a milestone? The Hi-Tide has become a go-to venue for birthdays, anniversaries, engagement parties, and family gatherings.
The combination of great food, a stocked bar, and live entertainment options makes every party feel effortless.
Theme Nights and Entertainment
If you want something extra special, we can help you organise DJ sets, live music, or themed evenings.
From retro nights to modern celebrations, the venue has seen it all - and the staff know how to bring your ideas to life.
Corporate Events and Conferences
Professional Yet Relaxed
The Hi-Tide isn’t only about celebrations. It’s also a fantastic choice for business functions and conferences.
With spacious rooms, presentation facilities, and on-site catering, it offers everything you need for a successful event.
But unlike a hotel boardroom, our venue comes with the bonus of a seaside setting - ideal for breaking up long sessions with fresh air and coastal views.
Team-Building and Away Days
Many businesses use the Hi-Tide as a base for away days. Combine meetings in the function room with team-building activities on the nearby beach, then round off the day with dinner and drinks in the bar.
Catering That Works for You
Flexible Menu Options
Food can make or break an event. That’s why we offer a range of catering styles:
- Formal sit-down meals for weddings or gala dinners.
- Buffets for casual parties or conferences.
- Finger food and canapés for networking or evening receptions.
Menus can be customised, ensuring guests with dietary needs are well looked after.
Drinks to Match the Occasion
From champagne receptions to craft beers and cocktails, the bar team is ready to make sure glasses stay full and celebrations flow smoothly.
