Open Spaces

To support our local community and audiences through the cost-of-living crisis, Theatr Brycheiniog will be running several free events this November and December, along with opening public spaces within the building as a safe and warm space to be.

With a cost of living and climate crisis, many of us are facing tough decisions. Some of us have moved to working from home following the pandemic and are facing a winter with increased energy bills, others are facing harder decisions about whether to heat or eat. 

From Monday 21^st November – Thursday 22^nd December, our bar area will be an open warm space and working area. Visitors will be able to access our high-quality free Wi-Fi, work, or meet in our safe and functioning environment. By using our open space, you become a Theatr B! Open Space Member and you will be entitled to refillable filter coffee and tea (£2.20 for the original cup) and a 10% discount in our café. 

Theatr Brycheiniog will be screening the Wales and England World Cup group matches in our auditorium, these events are free, and no ticket is required. 

Monday 21st November 2022 – 7pm – USA vs. Wales

Friday 25^th November 2022 – 7pm – England vs. USA

Tuesday 29^th November 2022 – 7pm – Wales vs. England

Please note that our bar will be open, serving drinks for evening matches and our café will be open during daytime matches. 

Free midday movies will be shown on Wednesday 30^th November and Monday 5^th December. Keep an eye on our social media for updates on what films are being shown closer to the date! 

On Saturday 26^th November Theatr B! will be hosting an affordable gig night. We are really excited to announce that Dan’s People will be performing, supported by The Quiet Marauder. Dan’s People are a Rock/Pop four piece from Cardiff. Once described as a crossover between The Mammas and Papas and The Clash. Catchy melodies, clever lyrics, soaring harmonies and driving bass solos, their music varies seamlessly from devastatingly beautiful to unashamedly fun. They are currently mixing their album ‘The Visitors’ with Lucky Recording in San Francisco, CA for release in 2023. Based in Cardiff too, Quiet Marauder take their cue from erratically gifted cult legends such as The Bonzo Dog Doo Dah Band, Half Man Half Biscuit, Jeffery Lewis and The Burning Hell. Having released the world’s longest debut album, Men, in 2014, they have since produced an array of collaborative conceptual projects with themes with themes as diverse as orphans, house fires, toxic masculinity, rips in the time-space continuum, and Brexit. Blending dark comedy and carefully crafted lyrics with a DIY approach, they are a rotating, loose collective of musicians centred around the song writing of Simon M. Read.
