This was originally the "Miners' Institute" (Plas Mwynwyr), built in 1926 and which dominated the social and cultural life of the town until 1977 when it closed. The local council, which had bought the building in 1978, decided to demolish the building in 1985, but it was saved as a result of local campaigning. Following fundraising efforts, it was renovated and reopened as a community theatre.
