Welcome to Bedwas Workmen's Hall

Bedwas Workmen's Hall is a volunteer-run entertainment venue in the heart of Bedwas. A theatre upstairs and an art centre downstairs, both are available for hire for a range of activities including productions, parties and music events. For more information on booking our hall, check out the booking page. If you're interested in learning new skills, we hold classes for a number of different subjects. For more information on what we have going on, check out the What's On pages.

Bedwas Workmen's Hall was built in 1923 thanks to local miners who together raised the money by donating a penny a week.
