The Albert Hall is a community venue at heart, and we’re always delighted to support the people around us.

Radnor YFC

We are delighted to support the Radnor Federation of Young Farmers Clubs and to be the home of the on‑stage competitions for all 13 clubs across Radnor.

Throughout February, more than 250 young people take to our stage for the annual entertainment festival. The week‑long event showcases an exciting mix of entertainment, drama, and pantomime, alongside smaller performances where groups of up to six present six‑minute sketches, songs, or dances. In May, we welcome them back for their annual pre-rally stage competitions, which is a single night of entertainment.

‘The Albert Hall Award for the Most Improved Performance’

During the two rehearsal weeks and the entertainment festival in February, our team has the privilege of watching every performance grow — from first rehearsal, to second rehearsal, all the way through to the final show during entertainment week.

In 2026, we were proud to deepen our support for the festival by launching The Albert Hall Award for the Most Improved Performance.

We were delighted to present the inaugural award to Llanbadarn Fynydd and Teme Valley Young Farmers Clubs for their joint production, Toy Therapy. Congratulations!

Local Events

We’re proud to support local events throughout our community. Each year, you’ll find us at the Llandrindod Carnival, where we help support the festivities and showcase our venue. Our AH Players often take to the bandstand as well, sharing their creativity and talent with the wider community.

We’re also regular guests at the Metropole Hotel’s Christmas Fayre, where we join in the celebrations and contribute to the festive atmosphere. The AH Players bring extra Christmas cheer by performing during the event, helping to make it a memorable occasion for everyone.

In 2023, to celebrate 100 years of The Albert Hall and to commemorate the inaugural musical production by AH Players / AH Kids, we entered a float in the Llandrindod Carnival. The float was themed around The Addams Family (Young@Part)!

Llandrindod Wells Victorian Festival

We are pleased to be one of the main host venues for Llandrindod Wells Victorian Festival.

Taking place in August every year, the festival celebrates Llandrindod’s Victorian heritage and brings the town to life with costume, music, performance, and community events. As a Victorian theatre at the heart of the town, The Albert Hall naturally becomes a focal point during the celebrations, providing an authentic setting that enhances the festival’s atmosphere.

A regular feature of the festival, Gerald Dickens, the Great Great Grandson of Charles Dickens.
A recent addition to the festival’s line up, Don’t Go Into The Cellar Theatre Company.

Each year we host two to three of the festival’s key events, offering our space for performances, talks, and special activities. We’re proud to support the festival by providing a welcoming venue, technical expertise, and a dedicated team who help ensure every event runs smoothly. We also directly support the festival by covering the costs for one of these events, helping ensure it remains accessible and continues to thrive.

Our involvement strengthens the festival’s programme and helps maintain its long-standing reputation as one of Llandrindod’s most cherished traditions.
