Theatr Brycheiniog

Live entertainment, cinema and canal-side dining in the heart of Brecon

Set beside the Monmouthshire & Brecon Canal in the centre of Brecon (Aberhonddu), Theatr Brycheiniog is one of Mid Wales’ leading cultural venues and one of the town’s most distinctive places to visit. Combining live performances, cinema, exhibitions and a popular canal-side café, it offers something to enjoy throughout the year, whether you’re staying locally or visiting for the day.

The theatre hosts an exciting programme of events ranging from touring productions and live music to comedy, dance, family shows and the latest cinema releases. From nationally recognised performers to community productions and special events, there’s always something happening on stage or on screen.

Its location on the canal basin makes Theatr Brycheiniog more than just a theatre. Visitors can enjoy breakfast, lunch, coffee and cake overlooking the water, watch narrowboats drift through the basin, browse exhibitions, or simply relax and take in one of the most attractive waterside settings in the town.

Just a short walk from Brecon’s independent shops, museums and attractions, it’s an ideal place to include as part of a wider day out. Spend the morning exploring the town, enjoy lunch by the canal, take a stroll along the towpath and return later for an evening performance, film or live event.

Whether you’re looking for a memorable night out, a family-friendly activity, a rainy-day attraction or simply a great place to eat beside the canal, Theatr Brycheiniog offers a welcoming mix of culture, entertainment and local hospitality at the heart of Bannau Brycheiniog (Brecon Beacons) National Park.
