Theatres

We fund four theatres in Powys which provide a wide range of entertainment including drama, comedy, music and dance. You can find out details of What's On via their websites:

The venue attracts acts ranging from stand up comedians to folk singers and full orchestras, both national and international. It has also been a venue for parts of the Brecon Jazz Festival weekend.

Llanwrtyd & District Heritage and Arts Centre

The centre is an interactive history of the town and it's surroundings which includes information panels, interactive maps and recorded memories of residents and visitors to the town. The centre is housed in a sympathetically restored congregational chapel which is easily accessible by wheelchair or to those with limited mobility. A disabled toilet is available within the building and a lift provides access to most parts of the centres' exhibition space.

Impelo
