We were here for a concert by Blazin’ Fiddles, a Scottish (sort of) folk group. The centre is a wonderful place with great staff and comfy seats with good leg room. A good range of drinks and snacks available at the bar. Looking at the overall programme of things that go on here, it is truly a community asset, with plays, films, music, workshops, exhibitions and all sorts of other things going on. Deserves to be well supported.
3. MOMA Machynlleth
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 74 reviews
The Tabernacle was converted in the mid-1980s from a Wesleyan chapel into a centre for the performing arts. Since then MOMA Machynlleth has grown up alongside it in seven beautiful exhibition spaces. Throughout the year MOMA Machynlleth shows Modern Welsh Art, featuring leading artists from Wales, works from the growing Tabernacle Collection, and in August selected entries from the Tabernacle Art Competition. Many of the works of art are for sale.

This excellently designed art gallery is a real find in the quiet market town of Machynlleth. Just a few doors down from an excellent bookshop, and a new photographic gallery, it always has fabulous work on show, as well as the permanent exhibition of work. There is a round gallery used for displaying sculpture, as well as a number of rooms devoted to paintings and sketches. The reception area houses exhibitions of local artists which can be purchased as well as cards and books, and is staffed by volunteers who are very happy to chat about the gallery. Well worth a visit if you are touring the area. Good disabled access to the rear, and a lift to carry wheelchairs between floors.

A 548 seat Theatre in the heart of Mid Wales providing a very varied range of shows from Community through to Opera
Reviewed By Ravezilla - Newtown, United Kingdom
Very respectable, capable and modern. This medium-sized theatre in the local college that has top class Theatre, Comedy, Music and Opera and Circus acts as well as whatever else comes up for show in the entertainment world. I've seen the local amateur theatre group put on fantastic performances equal to that of the pros, and also seen A-list comedians and music acts come through this comfortable venue. They even show movies here. A local gem, The Hafren does it right. Lots of parking space, drinks at intermission and lots of local support.
5. Pavilion Mid Wales

4.5 based on 17 reviews
In March 2016, Grand Pavilion Events CIC - (a not for profit community interest company) became the new operators of the Pavilion. Our aim was to raise the ‘Old Lady’ from the ashes and bring her back into the heart of the community by providing a varied program of Entertainment and Community Events. Our priority is to save the building from an uncertain future by bringing the building back into the hands of the community for which it was built. Since opening the doors in 2016, we have seen over 75,000 visitors to the Pavilion, whilst attracting major acts back to the venue. In October 2018, the Pavilion hosted the annual Bryn Terfel Scholarship Awards final in front of the TV cameras, and watched by thousands across the globe.
