Behind the Stage Door

Pembrokeshire’s leading arts venue has this year been awarded a grant of £7500 by Milford Haven Town Council, continuing a long history of support for the community arts activity at the iconic venue. Established in 1977, with considerable support from Milford Haven Town Council, the Torch Theatre is one of only three building-based professional producing theatres in Wales and is well-known for its in-house productions and extensive youth and community activity. 

Theatr Gwaun has an exciting opportunity, each year we offer the Abigail’s Arts Award bursary worth £500 each to two young people interested in pursuing a career in the performing, visual or creative arts industry.

Due to the change in student finance, local groups, including FF Dancers, are expressing concerns and supporting a petition to restore a fair funding route for Welsh students to not get ‘shut out’ from Drama / Dance degrees in England. 

The Big Pembrokeshire Pantomime has extended its heartfelt thanks to the sponsors and partners who supported the 2025 season of Aladdin, helping to make it the most successful pantomime in the production’s history.

Nominations for Theatr Gwaun's bursary for Abigail's Arts Award, which runs annually are now open.  Now in its 5th successive year, it grows each year in popularity and the wealth of talent coming through the doors.

The Big Pembrokeshire Pantomime has celebrated its most successful season to date, as Aladdin proved to be a runaway festive hit, playing to packed houses throughout December.
