 THIS PROJECT IS FUNDED AND SUPPORTED BY THE STRAND HALL

The Strand Hall was originally built for the people of Builth Wells in 1903. If it's walls could talk, it would be imbued with the history of this town, from celebrations to concerts and even barking mad YFC productions. This was a very important meeting place for the peoples of this area.
