Find arts and theatres in Powys
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:
Theatr Brycheiniog, Brecon
The building provides a theatre auditorium, art gallery, conference venue, restaurant with local Welsh cuisine, a bar, and community spaces. The rehearsal studio, which doubles as a conference room, is capable of seating 150 people.
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.
The Wyeside, Builth Wells
A venue for live and visual arts and cinema. Its excellent range of facilities also make this an ideal venue for business meetings, private functions and conferences. Wyeside is also available to hire as a performance space for both amateur and professional groups.
The Hafren, Newtown
Available for conferences, business meetings and special functions. The main auditorium can accommodate up to 500 with full staging and lighting facilities. There is also a suite of smaller rooms. Seating up to 556, conference style, the auditorium also has a sound loop for hearing impaired attenders. The gallery-bar can be used as a small meeting area, an exhibition space or for refreshments.
The Welfare, Ystradgynlais

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.
