The Pontardawe Arts Centre, located off Herbert Street near the town centre, will soon open the doors to its new 74-seat cinema and cafe bar which has been built alongside a redesigned ticket office area and foyer.

The building is well known as a cultural hub in the Swansea Valley area for its traditional theatre which hosts a range of events such as classical music, stand-up comedy, celebrity talks, and dance and drama clubs.
