Exciting news for Haverfordwest! The historic Shire Hall in the heart of town is set for a transformation. Often hailed as one of Wales’ architectural gems, this Grade II*-listed building will soon become a vibrant theatre, adding a cultural spark to the High Street.
Built in 1835, the Shire Hall has seen its fair share of courtroom drama, including significant trials during the Rebecca Riots of the 1840s. Now, it’s ready for a new chapter. The theatre will not only preserve this remarkable structure but also breathe new life into it, promising a dynamic space for performances and gatherings.
Plans have been approved with support from both the Pembrokeshire Council and the local community. While exterior changes are off the table, some internal updates are planned to accommodate the theatre alongside exciting additions like a pizza restaurant and a bar.
This initiative is poised to revitalise the town centre, creating a genuine cultural destination for residents and visitors alike. Once operational, the theatre will run from 10am to 11pm, offering a fresh hub for the arts in South-West Wales.
Stay tuned for more updates on this thrilling project. Cheers to new beginnings for Shire Hall! ðŸŽâœ¨
