In the early twentieth century work began on the Parc and Dare Hall, adding a large theatre, initially to be used as a variety show venue.

The Parc & Dare Workmen's Institute Committee, faced with this daunting possibility, donated the building to the then Rhondda Borough Council.

Over the years it has been graced by the biggest stars in show business including the likes of Max Boyce, Ken Dodd and the Kinks' Ray Davies.

The former Parc and Dare Institute is now connected at various levels to the Hall and provides the rehearsal rooms, offices and public areas.

The Parc and Dare is still an Edwardian proscenium-arched theatre that acts as a venue for live performance, cinema and community events.
