Brynamman Public Hall Cinema

Brynamman Cinema traces it's origins to the 1920s where it was funded by the "check-off" system, whereby weekly contributions were deducted from the miners' wages, initially to build the hall, and subsequently to run it. Building work on the new Brynamman Cinema started in 1924 with seating for around 1,100 people. It was furnished throughout with tip up seats upholstered in old gold corduroy. The stage was built 20ft by 60 ft and had 4 dressing rooms below. The lounge was situated below the library it contained 12 armchairs and 3 settees where the miners could relax or play cards around the several oak game and card tables therein. There was also a billiard room above the library. The opening ceremony was held on 15th May 1926, the cinema started with silent films until the 1930's, when the "talkies" came along. Today, Brynamman Cinema continues to grow and has kept up with all the changes the film industry has made over the years, most recently being the transformation to digital projection. As of May 2013, the cinema has the ability to show two films simultaneously for the first time in its 89 year history thanks to the opening of Screen 2, a 43 seat auditorium situated in the old lounge space. All of this has been possible due to the good work of the committee of volunteers who run the day to day business of the cinema.

Today marked my first visit to the Brynamman Public Hall Cinema. Having spent eight happy years as a community cinema volunteer, initially as 'front-of-house' and subsequently on the projection team, at the [Community] Centre Cinema, Lymington, Hampshire (1982-1990), I was very interested in how the Brynamman gang operated. What a joy! A lovely, historic cinema building; beautifully maintained; happy, enthusiastic volunteer staff; today's film, 'Emma', well presented; and nice, cwtchy seats in the back row of the upper circle (bet they could tell some tales of Upper Brynamman past!?). The very reasonable ticket price included a nice cup of tea and biscuits - I will have to return to buy intermission ice cream from the lady with the tray! The Brynamman Public Hall Cinema is indeed an hidden gem in the truest sense. It fuses local community and entertainment heritage with modern cinematic visual and sound technology - and it works SO well! I send my sincere compliments to all involved in keeping the traditional cinema-going experience alive in Brynamman. I would encourage anyone seeking quality entertainment to seek out this rare (dare I say unique?) opportunity to pass from the mundane present into a past when cinemas were still 'other worldly', special places into which one could escape from everyday normality for a couple of hours.

It is fantastic that Colwyn Bay Theatre has got involved with National Theatre Live For anyone who doesn’t know what NTL is, it’s a way fantastic way of seeing London West End shows and The Royal Shakespeare Company productions your door step and at a fraction of the cost. They beam it live from the Theatre in London, sometimes they do encore showings which is a recording of a live performance. Apart from NTL, Colwyn Bay Theatre also have a fantastic Christmas Pantomime and show current films. The staff are always friendly and it is always very clean.

Reviewed By 181andyp - Stoke-on-Trent, United Kingdom

We recently booked tickets to go and watch the new mama mia here we go again film and much to our delight found that the seats were some of the most comfortable and roomy in a cinema that I have ever sat in. The seats were so situated that no one had a problem seeing the screen as they hadn't over crammed them in like the modern multi screens do. It made us feel valued and the staff were very pleasant too. I would recommend to anyone to go here, if they are showing a film your interested in as we will regularly check what's on and return ourselves at the earliest possible opportunity.
