Scheduled to reopen in 2024, Maesteg Town Hall, in the heart of the Llynfi Valley, is currently undergoing an ambitious and much-needed redevelopment. At £8m, this project represents one of the single biggest investments made in the area and one of the largest arts capital projects currently underway in Wales.
The Grade II listed building is being restored back to its former glory by protecting the Hall’s period features and cultural heritage, whilst adding modern facilities that performers, participants and audiences need and expect. These include a new glass atrium, studio theatre and cinema space, a café and mezzanine bar, and a modern library.
Strictly Cinema offered monthly screenings at Maesteg Town Hall, with the aim of combating loneliness and improving health amongst seniors and audiences with disabilities.
Screenings included activities around the films to appeal to audiences. The aim was to provide a unique social experience combining film, food and dance.
The events were great way to reconnect with old friends and make new friends whilst enjoying a great movie and staying active.
