Theatr Brycheiniog, Brecon’s Centre for the Arts opened in April 1997, as the first wholly-funded Lottery new build arts organisation in the UK. The Arts Centre is probably situated in one of the most picturesque locations of any venue in the UK. Built alongside the canal basin in the heart of Brecon, serving the town and surrounding areas of Powys, Monmouthshire and beyond, it is rooted firmly in the community it serves. Theatr Brycheiniog serves not only its community through an outstanding programme of quality professional English and Welsh language productions, but it is also home to the Brecon Baroque Festival, which attracts audiences and visitors nationally and internationally. The theatre is open year around and prides itself for attracting visitors from across the country and also internationally. The theatre has an in house restaurant and bar, both of which only serve the highest quality food and drink from a range of welsh suppliers. Theatr Brycheiniog is funded by the Arts Council of Wales, Powys County Council and Brecon Town Council.

Theatr Brycheiniog provides a varied programme of theatre, dance, music and entertainment in its purpose built auditorium and studio/rehearsal space. It also has a meeting room, dressing rooms and a gallery space.
