Recent History

Since the new millennium our hall has gone through a dramatic transformation from a building with limited function and future to one that  has form function and purpose. This has been achieved with a lot of support and encouragement by many organisations and individuals

After several years of false starts and over ambitious plans finally in 2000 the Neuadd got both permission and funding for a £350,000 refurbishment and extension.

This work involved re-roofing the existing hall, building an annexe with a kitchen, toilets and a small meeting room. 180 of the fixed seats were removed and the sloping area used for dances was levelled and a sprung maple floor installed. Stackable seating was purchased and the sound and lighting significantly upgraded facilities for those with disabilities were installed, including a wheelchair lift and an induction loop.

The time line looks like this :-
