Conwy church hall reopens as a vibrant community hub

St Mary’s Church Hall in Conwy is reopening after extensive renovations, transforming the space into a dynamic multi-purpose hub for arts, culture, and community activities.

An Open Day for the newly rebranded Hall for All / Neuadd Ni takes place on Saturday 22 March, offering a sneak peek at upcoming events including craft fairs, exhibitions, creative workshops, wellbeing classes, music, and performances. Refreshments will be served from 10am to 4pm.

During the Open Day, Conwy Civic Hall Amateur Players Society (CHAPS) will present a trailer for their upcoming production, set to be performed in Glan Conwy and Rowen on 16 and 17 May, marking the company’s return to Conwy.

The hall will also serve as a vital base for the Bags of Love food bank programme, which provides crucial support to families and individuals in need within the local community. The new semi-commercial kitchen and dedicated rear space will enhance the programme’s ability to serve more households. Currently helping almost 100 families and vulnerable individuals each month, Bags of Love will expand its reach with improved storage and kitchen facilities. The renovations will also enable the launch of a new Heat and Eat programme, in partnership with St Johns, to support even more local families in the coming winter season.

The Hall For All project, led by the Bro Celynnin Ministry Area in the Diocese of Bangor, has transformed the former church hall into a vibrant venue for local arts, culture, and outreach. The project received £249,999 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, alongside additional funding from the and Bangor Diocese (£70,000), Gwynt y Mor Fund (£25,000), and Conwy Town Council (£10,000).
