Aberystwyth Arts Centre

Award winning Aberystwyth Arts Centre is Wales’ largest arts centre and recognised as a ‘national flagship for the arts’.  A department of Aberystwyth University, it has a wide-ranging artistic programme, both producing and presenting, across all art forms including drama, dance, music, visual arts, applied arts, film, new media and community arts and is recognised as a national centre for arts development. The arts centre welcomes over 850,000 visitors a year, including 100,000 attendances for performing arts and events featuring local, national and international work, 236,000 for exhibitions and over 100,000 for the unique community arts and education programme.

Performance Spaces

Theatre: The Arts Centre’s theatre was built in 1972. It seats audiences of 312 in its normal setting.The theatre is the Arts Centre’s main venue for touring companies of national and international reputation.  The Arts Centre produces its own professional summer season show each year, the 2014 production is ‘Sister Act’.  Increasingly the Arts Centre is producing its own in-house productions which then go out on tour – most recently The Government Inspector in partnership with Communicado, which toured Wales, the North of England and Scotland.

Great Hall: The main concert hall accommodates up to 1250 people. Built in 1970, it is a very adaptable space which can be used for events as varied as live bands, symphony orchestra concerts, and top stand-up comedy acts, as well as conferences and for the University’s examinations and Graduation Ceremonies.

Studio: The Arts Centre’s Studio Theatre provides a smaller, more intimate environment for smaller productions and emerging young theatre companies. It is also home to the Art Centre’s Open Platform programme, which enables up and coming artists with a platform and support to showcase their work.  The studio can accommodate 80 if seating is end on, or between 60 and 80 people in the round.

The main exhibition spaces are Gallery 1, which showcases a high quality programme of contemporary art across the year, and Gallery 2, which focuses on print/photography work. The Ceramics Gallery houses both changing exhibitions and examples from the University’s extensive ceramic archive, whilst the Café Gallery showcases work from local artists, or work created on the venue’s main visual arts courses.

A new series of creative units at the Arts Centre, designed by leading architect, Thomas Heatherwick were officially opened in May 2009. The units are home to visual artists, new media companies and publishers.

Workshop space includes specialist dance studios, Digilab, performance and rehearsal rooms, pottery and 3D room, and these spaces are heavily used, mainly for the Arts Centre’s extensive community arts programme which includes work with schools, emerging artists, professional artists, and general access, with evening classes in many art forms, dance school, stage school and youth theatre.

The cinema programme ranges from art house to main stream, and features a number of festivals throughout the year, including WOW: Wales One World Film Festival, and Abertoir, Aberystwyth’s very own horror festival!  Recent digital upgrades now make High Definition and 3D films a very popular choice with audiences, whilst our ‘live streamings’ of performances from the National Theatre, New York Met and Royal Opera House have been a wonderful addition to our programme.

The Arts Centre is home to two award winning cafes which provide a range of hot food, snacks, cakes, and teas and coffees. Vegetarian options are always available, and the menus are prepared freshly each day. Also within the venue (and run in-house) are a Craft & Design Shop which features regular ceramics and jewellery exhibitions, and a Bookshop offering an extensive range of books across all interests. The Arts Centre’s bar is also open daily, and stocks a wide ranges of beverages, from coffees to champagne!

Gwyn Hall, Neath

Howel Gwyn, benefactor of the Gwyn Hall, was a prominent public figure in Victorian Neath society. During his political career he had served as alderman, town councillor, mayor, Freeman of the Borough, chairman to the board of Guardians, High Sheriff of Glamorgan and MP for Brecon and Falmouth.

A generous benefactor to the town he was revered for his paternalism having made substantial gifts and land for St David’s Church, Alderman Davies School, the building of the Constitutional Club and St Matthew’s Church, Dyffryn where he is buried. At his mansion in Dyffryn he hosted an annual fete for his tenants and provided the Christmas luncheon at the Neath Union Workhouse.
In 1989 the Gwyn Hall received a Grade 2 listed building status. Plans were made to improve the hall but with just a few months to go before opening the building was destroyed by fire on the 21st of October 2007.

Thanks to support from a strong friends group and a continued commitment from Neath-Port Talbot County Borough Council the Gwyn Hall opened again in March 2012 after a £4million refit.

Torch Theatre, Milford Haven

Milford Haven’s Torch Theatre celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2007 with an ambitious refurbishment project which has transformed it into one of the most comfortable venues in the British Isles.

A modern and vibrant centre for the arts, it prides itself on extending a warm Pembrokeshire welcome to all visitors.
The Torch is an award winning producing theatre company with an impressive repertoire, and the striking new theatre was re-launched in the spring of 2008 with a highly acclaimed version of the award-winning musical The Hired Man. The multi-million pound makeover has also created a new Studio Theatre which now allows the Torch to offer a choice of films and live performances between the two spaces every night of the week.
The Torch exists to produce quality theatre for Milford Haven and the County of Pembrokeshire, providing a mix of diverse, challenging and stimulating live theatre events to stimulate its audience and deepen engagement with the performing arts.
The Theatre’s Main House has a seating capacity of 297, with 4 wheelchair spaces and 2 further wheelchair spaces in a private box. There is also an Infra red hearing assist system and an audio description facility.
The Studio Theatre has a comfortable and intimate environment, with 102 retractable seats. It is fully air conditioned with up to 2 wheelchair spaces, infra red hearing assist system, audio description facility and a fully sprung dance floor and is also fully equipped for live shows and film, with the latest 7.1 Dolby Digital Surround Sound.

Full details of both performance spaces are available as downloads at www.torchtheatre.co.uk.

The Torch Theatre has a regular Cinema programme, screening the latest movie blockbusters alongside art house and off-beat films. There is also a dedicated Gallery where visitors can also take pleasure in viewing paintings, photographs, ceramics, crafts and installations by local and national artists in the Joanna Field Gallery. The programme changes regularly, and entry is free.

Café Torch is the perfect place to enjoy a light lunch or a coffee in a relaxed and friendly setting. Adjacent to the Gallery, and opening onto a cliff top terrace with panoramic views over Milford’s marina and docks, the café – which is open daily – also offers pre-show suppers. There is also a large and comfortable Theatre Bar.

In addition to the Torch’s own professional productions, there is a regular and broad programme of first rate touring shows ranging from musical theatre, drama and comedy, dance, opera, lectures and the best in live music. The Studio Theatre may also be used as a meeting place and is a valuable community facility.

The Torch is programmed about 9 months in advance with a year round programme.
