Sophia Gardens is a sporting venue on the west bank of the River Taff in Cardiff, one mile north of Cardiff Arms Park and is named after Sophia Rawdon-Hastings. Daughter of the 1st Marquess of Hastings and wife to the 2nd Marquess of Bute, Sophia Rawdon-Hastings was concerned to provide open space for recreation in the rapidly expanding city in the late 1800s, in which her husband was heavily involved. The area is currently owned by Cardiff City Council.
 
The Sophia Gardens Pavillion was host to many concerts and package tours.

Here is a photo of Pink Floyd on stage at the Pavillion in 1974

 
 Demolished in 2007 to be replaced by the so-called 'Really-Welsh Pavillion'.
