‘Established’ operator to run town’s Miners’ Institute under new proposals

South Wales Echo

December 09, 2025

BLACKWOOD Miners’ Institute could be run by an “established” nonprofit organisation in future, under new proposals.

Caerphilly County Borough Council's cabinet members meet this week to mull over a new report on the cultural venue's future - and look likely to pursue a deal which will allow the local authority to retain control of the building.

Day-to-day operations at the “Stute would be the responsibility of an external party, however, and the council is set to start inviting expressions of interest from “experienced cultural operators”.

At a meeting tomorrow (Wednesday), cabinet members are expected to back that proposal from a range put forward by Awen Cultural Trust, which was commissioned to conduct a feasibility study for the site.

Cllr Jamie Pritchard, the council leader, said “the future looks bright” for the venue.
