July 2018
The ’Theatr Ardudwy’ is a large Brutalist theatre building that was designed by Colony Foulkes & Partners and opened in 1973, the building is located within the grounds of Coleg Harlech, an Adult Education Centre which closed its doors in February 2017 following years of financial uncertainty. The theatre continued to operate following the closure of the college for a further 12 months until it closed its doors in February 2018 making all staff redundant. Me and @Choo Choo m8ty stumbled across this one completely be accident, the theatre is in immaculate condition and if it wasn't for the boarded up windows you'd thing it was just closed for the day. The closure was blamed on 'structural defects' with concerns being raised for the safety of staff and visitors, following this a support group has been set up on Facebook to push for the reopening of the facility but hasn't made any serious attempts so far. It the facilities final days it operated as both a Theatre and a Cinema with showings taking place most weeks, the directors made a significant investment in early 2017 by installing a new digital cinema facility believed to cost the best part of £100,000.
