Popup Wales
Turning empty spaces into opportunities
PopUp Wales is Urban Foundry’s established space activation programme, transforming vacant and underused properties into affordable, flexible spaces for businesses, entrepreneurs and new ideas.
100 POP-UPS DELIVERED | 4 LOCAL AUTHORITY AREAS
How it works
We bring together spaces and ideas
We work with local authorities and property owners to identify vacant spaces, then find businesses, entrepreneurs and organisations with ideas for bringing them back to life.
We help make the match and support everyone through the process – from paperwork and set-up to getting the doors open.
Looking for space?
Test an idea. Start something new. Take the next step.
PopUp Wales gives businesses, entrepreneurs and organisations access to affordable, flexible space without the commitment of a traditional long-term lease.
It’s an opportunity to test an idea, reach new customers, try a new location or build confidence before taking on a space of your own.

FOR LOCAL AUTHORITIES
Turn vacancy into activity
Empty properties can affect footfall, confidence and how people feel about a town centre. PopUp Wales provides a practical way to bring spaces back into use while supporting local businesses and creating new reasons for people to visit.
We can develop and manage a programme around the needs of your place – finding spaces, attracting ideas, matching occupiers and helping make things happen.
Could PopUp Wales work in your town?
FOR LANDLORDS & PROPERTY OWNERS
Put empty space to work
PopUp Wales provides a flexible way to bring vacant property back into use while you consider its longer-term future.
A temporary use can generate activity, demonstrate the potential of a space and introduce potential future tenants. We work with you to find appropriate uses and help manage the process from start to finish.
Got an empty property? Let’s talk.
