About Us

We are a part of Carmarthenshire County Council’s Leisure department and we manage three performing arts venues within the county. Our aim is to bring to the people of Carmarthenshire and beyond a varied programme of arts events across all our theatres. As part of our Leisure department’s motto, More People More Active More Often, we also encourage people to get involved in arts participation whether as part of a local performing amateur company, or classes and workshops.

Our Venues

We manage three unique venues in Carmarthenshire, these being:

The Ffwrnes, Park Street, Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, SA15 3YE

The Lyric, King Street, Carmarthen, Carmarthenshire, SA31 1BD

The Glowyr, Wind Street, Ammanford, Carmarthenshire, SA18 3DN

Each theatre is very different in nature, the Ffwrnes is a state-of-the-art venue, the Lyric is a very traditional proscenium arch theatre while the Glowyr is an intimate venue with fantastic acoustics. This gives us the flexibility to put on a varied programme that will appeal to all and this is why we use the slogan ‘something for everyone’.
