Welsh Government invests £2 million in Venue Cymru transformation

Jane Bryant - Venue Cymru

Llandudno’s flagship entertainment and conference hub, which is the second largest arts venue in Wales after the Millennium Centre, is set for a major upgrade thanks to a £2 million investment from the Welsh Government Transforming Towns Programme.

The funding will help support the revitalisation of the 30-year-old venue, which currently employs 179 people and welcomes over 300,000 visitors annually, contributing £38.4 million to the regional economy.

Awarded to Conwy County Borough Council through the Welsh Government’s Transforming Towns programme, the new funding will enable essential internal and external refurbishment works.

This latest investment builds on over £500,000 already provided by Welsh Government Transforming Towns in 2024–25 for urgent upgrades and is part of the larger Venue Cymru Futures project—a collaborative initiative also supported by Arts Council of Wales.
