‘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.
