During the First World War, the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) accommodated an impressive contingent of 4,000 men in Llandrindod Wells for their training purposes.

Furthermore, Llandrindod hosted its second annual eisteddfod in March 1915, a cultural festival celebrating music and poetry, at The Albert Hall, showcasing the town's vibrant community spirit even amidst the challenges of wartime.

[2] Following the conclusion of the war, there was a noticeable decline in church attendance, rendering the hall redundant and prompting the committee to explore new avenues for community utility.

An elegant foyer adorned with intricate Art Nouveau detailing was designed by Owen Morris Roberts & Son, adding a touch of sophistication to the venue.

The grand reopening took place on 20th July 1923 at 15:00, during which local residents were graciously invited for tea to witness the exquisite improvements made to the establishment.

Nevertheless, apart from this, the Albert Hall, similar to the town itself, faced a downturn in its fortunes During the Second World War, Llandrindod once more served as a training centre for thousands of soldiers.

As part of the overhaul, the facilities benefited from a central heating system, rewired electrics, a fresh coat of paint and decorative enhancements.

Occasional events featured a seasonal panto, the annual drama festival, and agricultural competitions run by Young Farmers.

In March 2020, a new management committee took charge of the Albert Hall, but regrettably, just a fortnight later, the venue was closed owing to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Albert Hall participated in initiatives like LightItInRed and WeMakeEvents, joining forces with numerous venues and production companies globally that were left without support during this time.

Throughout 2020 and early 2021, maintenance work was carried out, thanks to the generous contributions of local residents, Ah Friends, committee members, the Arts Council of Wales (ACW), and Theatres Trust.

At the end of that year, the Albert Hall Management Committee was informed by The National Lottery Community Fund of receiving substantial grant funding to develop an "Accessible Cinema", which involved a complete upgrade of the theatre's sound system and the installation of a projection system with a large screen, returning the hall to its cinematic roots with a contemporary flair for accessibility.

Additionally, funding from Tesco's Community Grants scheme allowed for the replacement of outdated tables in the lesser hall and the installation of a sound system.

On 20th July 2023, at 3 pm, exactly a century later, we welcomed invited guests to mark this special milestone, later opening our doors to the public for further celebration.

Our Ah Players debuted their first youth production, “The Addams Family Young@Part,” featuring 30 local children in all roles, which was a tremendous success, providing many youngsters their first chance to shine on stage.
