About Theatr Brycheiniog

Theatr Brycheiniog, Brecon’s Centre for the Arts, opened in April 1997, as the first wholly Lottery funded new build arts organisation in the UK. Situated in one of the most picturesque locations in the UK; on the canal basin in the heart of Brecon, Theatr Brycheiniog proudly serves the town and surrounding areas of Powys, Monmouthshire and beyond. 

Theatr Brycheiniog is a varied and popular arts venue, programming professional productions each year that include theatre, opera, dance, a wide range of music, live screenings, film events and participatory projects, as well as being a significant venue for local community organisations. The theatre is open all year round and attracts regular visitors from across the country and also internationally, particularly for key annual events that include the Brecon Baroque Festival. 

The venue offers a range of spaces for performance and participation, including its purpose built 477-seat auditorium and 120-seat studio/rehearsal space. It also has a meeting room, dressing rooms and a gallery space alongside the thriving bar and café function, all of which are versatile spaces that host a variety of events. 

Theatr Brycheiniog is funded by the Arts Council of Wales and Brecon Town Council.
