Gwyn Hall restoration plans move forward
The next stage of a £9m scheme to transform the Gwyn Hall in Neath, South Wales, is set to start after Morgan Ashurst was selected to carry out the work.
A new arts and cultural venue is planned for the historic venue, which will feature a ground floor theatre with retractable seating for a range of functions, a cinema and a café. Cardiff-based Holder Mathias Architects drew up designs for the new-look venue, which aims to provide full access for people of all abilities and ages and will provide a major arts facility for the local area.
The refurbishment of Gwyn Hall comes more than two years after the Grade II-listed building was severely damaged by fire amid a similar £4m redevelopment project. Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council (NPTCBC) also revealed that a special event is due to be held to enable local firms to meet the Morgan Ashurst team responsible for delivering the scheme.
Council leader Ali Thomas said: "The council made a commitment last year to re-build the Gwyn Hall, which has been at the heart of the local community for many years. Once complete the people of Neath Port Talbot will have a cultural and arts venue to be proud of."
