Disgrifiad o'r nwyddau neu'r gwasanaethau sydd eu hangen

We are redeveloping quickly and recently benefited from the European Regional Development Fund via the WCVA Social Business Growth Fund, and this scheme has now been joined by the Arts Council of Wales through their capital programmes.

We are investing directly in the visitor experience at the Theatr and want to reinvigorate artistic engagement for audiences and the visitor experience for when people make a trip to the Theatr’s home at the Canal Basin in Brecon.

We are undertaking a significant capital project, investing up to £250,000, that will see us partner with a designer (or design team) to revolutionise the public spaces at Theatr Brycheiniog.

As part of this project, we’ll be asking the successful bidder to imagine, think through and present to us costed designs for exciting changes, that will see us deliver a redesigned front of house feel that meets the expectations of modern audiences and visitors; these plans will include:

• A new café lounge for the ground floor, linking this space to the other areas on the canal side, creating a sustainable catering outlet

• A ticketing centre and shop instead of our box office in the old front of house desk area

• A remodeled and flexible bar area with meeting spaces on the 1st floor

• A reimagined 2nd Floor activity space, that continues to engage visitors in the visual arts, but extends our ability to provide hire space, a further hospitality overflow that feels purposeful and a flexible dining location for the frequent sell-out shows.

The design concept, however, is being considered as a refurbishment and not a deep renovation.

Cyfanswm maint neu gwmpas y tendr

We have been granted two funds for refurbishment work, one for the public spaces, to support the Theatr providing modern, flexible and engaging premises for artistic engagement, the other supports how the Theatr may engage in ancillary activities to support its financial balancing, creating income, employment opportunities and providing regeneration that stems from the Theatr’s impact.

Once complete we will reveal a NEW Theatr Brycheiniog, which will be a welcoming and inviting building, with new facilities, service, produce and an overhauled visitor experience.

It will be a confident programme delivered by

a venue that supports audiences, encourages attendance and is delightful to experience. Each element of the design will illustrate the Company we are and demonstrate the values we hold dear. A budget for design at this stage of £15,000, but there may be further funds available subject to a convincing business case.
