Carmarthen’s Lyric is a beautiful art deco grade II listed theatre positioned on one of Carmarthen’s busiest shopping streets.

The Miners’ in Ammanford is a hidden gem! Originally opened in 1932 as the Welfare Hall and funded by the Miners’ Welfare Fund, the theatre was divided during restorations in the 1990s and is now an intimate venue with large and versatile performance space suited to contemporary and smaller scale touring productions. It also features original art modern plaster work, which you can learn about on a tour of the theatre which take place on the last Friday of every month.
