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.

Garden of four acres closely planted with many rare trees,shrubs and perennials open to the public for the National Garden Scheme, a charity which benefits mainly cancer and nursing charities. We are open most days, but it is advisable to check our phone message to avoid disappointment. Llwyngarreg continues to develop further, delighting plant lovers with its many rarities incl species Primulas, many bamboos with Roscoeas, Hedychiums and Salvias extending the season through to riotous autumn colour. Trees and rhododendrons have been underplanted with perennials. The sunken garden for tender/exotic gems and gravel terraces with formal pool continues to mature. Springs form a series of linked ponds across the main garden, providing colourful bog gardens.
Absolutely gorgeous garden worth a good hour or more to explore! We went as part of the National Garden Scheme and we so delighted to have done so. The garden is a mix of forest, water, more formal garden and also farm (with ducks and chickens). The owners are so friendly and very happy to talk about their 20 year experience building this incredibly special place in West Wales. Would be great with kids as there are lots of little nooks and crannies to explore and some very well integrated sculpture to find! Highly recommended,

An escape room is a physical adventure game in which players are locked in a room and have to use elements of the room to solve a series of puzzles and escape within the set time limit. After the initial briefing covering the general rules, a game master will show you to your room. Your group will enter and get acclimatised before the game master leaves you. As well as Family Fun, Friends outings and Entertainment, our Escape room is proving popular as a Team Building and Staff Activity venue as well as a new method of interviewing potential job candidates by assessing leadership and teamwork, problem solving and managing under pressure in a real life environment while the interviewer monitors candidates live by a CCTV link to the room. Whatever your reasons for popping by, you are sure to have a warm welcome, exiting intro and it will be finished with the thrill of trying or escaping one of our demanding Escape Rooms.
Excellent escape room,Jim is a great host- game master, explained everything very well. Very enjoyable afternoon.

Advance booking required. Kidwelly is on a par with the other great castles of Wales. We all get our moments. But if you want a truly medieval moment, catch a glimpse of Kidwelly shrouded in early morning mist. Spine-tingling stuff. So complete and well-preserved it’s a match for any of the great castles of Wales. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures.

Advance booking required Mighty medieval castle, Tudor mansion and poet’s hideout This is the ‘brown as owls’ castle beloved of Dylan Thomas, Laugharne’s most famous resident. He wrote Portrait of the Artist as a Young Dog in the castle summerhouse perched above glorious views of the Taf estuary. Here two giant medieval stone towers stand guard over the remains of a magnificent Tudor mansion, all set in 19th century ornamental gardens. The displayed opening times are our general pattern. Please check the Cadw website for specific times and days, including closures. Advance booking required.
Well worth the walk up to the castle for the stunning views. Quite hilly for walking and not sure that it would be suitable for wheelchair users.
