2022 has been a year of some amazing highs and a few lows. Returning after the best part of a 2 year absence through Covid was a challenge from the start.
Ticket sales plummeted, Visitor numbers reduced drastically from pre-Covid figures, Conference business halved as 'Zoom' style meetings became the norm. We met the challenge face on and over the past year have achieved some fantastic results for the venue, Llandrindod Wells and Mid Wales.
Some of the highlights included hosting the wonderful Joe Lycett for a warm up show, welcoming Jo Whiley and her 90s Anthems for the ultimate party night, hosting the incredible Morcheeba, Newton Faulkner and Dub Pistols in Mid Wales.
We also promoted local talent, (which we have seen a massive re-kindling of in recent years), such as the dulcet tones of Elin Grace, the incredibly talented Ffredi Blino to name a few.
Away from the music, we returned with the Artisan Market and it is amazing to see the amount of talented Artisans, Arts & Crafters and Hand Made/Home Made talent we have within the area. The Artisan Market is our way of giving this talent the opportunity to have a shop window and showcase their wares.
We have provided valuable space for youth services - Powys CC Youth Team, Credu Young Carers. Hosted the Llandrindod Wells Theatre Company as they rehearse for various shows and performances throughout the year! We held several Theatre Workshops through MA Stage School, providing opportunities for young talented folk to get engaged and involved in Music & Dance.
Overall, it has been a challenging year, we have fought through, now it's time for a well earned festive break and we'll be back and at it in 2023.
Thanks to all of our supporters, customers, friends and business partners for the continued support, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
